She resteth now. Nor more her breast
Heaves with its weary breath:
Pain sits no longer on the brow
Where lies the calm of death.
Sunk to her rest like a tired child.
She lies in slumber deep.
Soft folded in the arms of Him
Who "giveth his beloved sleep."
Funeral services were held at Prairie View. Wednesday afternoon In charge of her pastor, Rev. O. B. Rogers. Burial at Prairie View beside her husband. The Eastern Star had charge of the service at the grave. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
