IN MEMORY OF MRS. HINDMAN
The announcement of the death of
Mrs Fannie M. Hindman wife of Ex
Lieut Gov. James R. Hindman which
occurred at their home in this city on
Saturday January 29th ult. will be
read with deep regret by a large circle
of friends
Mrs Hindman was the youngest child
of Mark and Fannie Crowdus and was
born near Franklin, in Simpson county
Ky., on the 6th day of December 1840.
Her early education was received in
the schools of Elkton Ky., principally
and was broadened in her after years
by extensive and careful reading.
In 1856 she was married to Mr. Clel
Rainey, of Marion county Kentucky.
After a few years residence in that
county they removed to Dallas, Texas
where her husband died. While living
there she was received into the mem-
bership of the Baptist church.
In 1883 December 19th she was mar-
ried to Hon Jas. R. Hindman of this
place then Lieut Governor of Ken-
tucky That winter and the winter fol-
lowing she spent with her husband at
Frankfort, where he was engaged in
the discharge of his duties as presiding
officer of the Senate, and, at times as
acting Governor-and at the close of
his term of office they returned to their
Columbia home where they have con-
tinuously resided since.
In 1888 she joined a party in a trip to
Europe where she spent many months
visiting notable places in the world's
history. She had read of them, and as
it was her nature to deal with nothing
superficially or at second hand, she
wished to see them for herself She
loved knowledge for its own sake, and
she was most industrious and painstak-
ing in its acquisition.
What she learned she sought to learn
accurately and thoroughly. Books and
periodicals were her daily companions,
and were much of life to her. As a re-
sult she kept in close touch with the
happenings of the world and was well
informed on all questions of the day.
After middle life and in the midst of
domestic duties she took up the study
of the French language, and self
taught became proficient in reading it.
Cultured and refined, she had an eye
for beauty, and loved the beautiful in
whatever form it presented itself,
whether in nature or art or literature,
and loved it as something worthy to be
possessed and enjoyed.
A beautiful home, a beautiful face,
or painting, or the unfolding loveliness
of a flower appealed to her keen sense
appreciation.
She was a kind neighbor, and a sin-
cere and loyal friend, whose friendship,
when given, was without reservation--
and of a kind to be relied upon as very
true. We appreciated it while she was
living; we will appreciate it even more
now that she is gone, for it is only in
the loss that we fully understand the
true value of the things of this life.
The death of our loved ones leaves us
very lonely, but how much more so
would it be, if we believed that death
is the end of all.
We have a sure faith-a better hope.
We can look beyond the valley and its
shadows with the assurance that,
"There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years,
And all that life is love."
and that, freed from the infirmatives
and sorrows of this life, with renewed
youth, and higher powers, they are in
the enjoyment of its peace and blessed-
ness. H. C. B.
