In the dispensations of Gods providence the church at Owens Station (Callender) has been called on to part forever, so far as time is concerned, with another one of their number. Sister Susan (Brown) Temple passed over the river on April 30, 1909, aged seventy-five years, two months, and twenty days. Her father, Enoch Brown, emigrated from Virginia when a young man and settled in Williamson County, Tenn. He married Miss Frances Claud, a native of the county, and from this union sprang three sons and four daughters. All have crossed over now except two sons Enoch and Coleman Brown. In 1852 Susan Brown was married to Herbert Temple, and they trod the pathway of life together for twenty-eight years, when he died, leaving her a widow. Of this union there were born to them four children. Two have died, preceding their mother to the grave; and two, Herbert Temple and Mrs. Berta Wykle, survive her. For forty years or more she had been a soldier of the cross and a follower of the Lamb. She was baptized into Christ by Brother E. G. Sewell. She was a woman of sterling integrity, warm-hearted, affectionate, and true. Her life has been a benediction and a blessing to her family and to all who came within the circle of her influence. The funeral services at the home of her daughter, where she died, drew together a large number of her neighbors, as well as many from a distance; and at the old family burying ground the old Claud home there was a multitude to witness the last sad rites of sepulture. This circumstance alone was sufficient to show the estimation placed on her and her life by those who knew her best. Though we mourn for our dead, it is comforting and sweet to the soul to do so with the hope that though our loss may be severe, the gain for them is immeasurably great. The assurance of the interposition of the divine providence for the welfare of man, both for time and eternity, gives to man the rainbow of hope which lights up the pathway from the cradle to the grave. Without this hope, death would draw the curtain over a scene full enough of woe, only to present another the magnitude of whose evils were sufficient to crush out all desire for an existence promising nothing save the miseries of eternal death banishment from God and the glory of his power. It was this hope which enabled our dear sister to fight the battles of life, trusting in the grace of God and the loving sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. May her children, friends, and all of us be enabled to emulate all her goodness, and earnestly seek to meet her and all the redeemed on the sunny shores of sweet deliverance.
