Resolutions of Respect.
To the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist church:
Your committee appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Mrs. Cravens submit the following:
Mrs. Susan Rebecca Allison Cravens was born Nov. 29, 1849, in North Carolina; came to Gillham in 1921; died at her home Nov. 17, 1924. Buried in the Gillham cemetery Nov. 18, 1924. Funeral conducted by Brother Taylor at her home; Eastern Star at the cemetery.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we, as members of the W.M.S. bow in humble submission to His will.
We deeply mourn our loss and most sincerely join the grief striken [sic] family, and pray that the Holy One may minister unto them the oil of joy for mourning, and may the family take this poem as a consolation in her going:
"You are not dead - life has but set you free!
Your years of life were like a lovely song,
The last sweet, poignant notes of which, held long,
Passed into silence while we listened, we
Who loved you, listened still expectantly!
And we about you whom you moved among
Would feel that grief for you were surely wrong--
You have but passed beyond where we cannot see!"
"For us who knew you, dread age is past!
You took life tiptoe to the very last;
It never lost for you its lovely look;
You kept your interest in its thrilling book;
To you death came, no conqueror, in the end--
You merely smiled to greet another friend!"
Resolved that we will cherish and emulate the noble traits that characterized the life of our departed member in living an unselfish life.
Resolved, that we will keep a copy on the minutes of our society, send one to the bereaved family, and one to the De Queen Bee for publication.--
Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Palmer, Committee.
