Obituary: Lydia Elma Bowman Arnett 1839-1900
Mrs. W. V. Arnett, after a brief attack of stomach disorder, sank to mortal rest about the noon hour on Saturday, February 17th, 1900, aged 58 years, 8 months and 18 days. She was born near Dunn's Chapel; this county, united with the New Market Baptist Church April, 1865, and married W. V. Arnett December 23, 1865. She leaves a husband and seven children grown to manhood and womanhood, who are daily living to again meet the devoted mother at the Master's call.
The obituary of a friend usually awakens sacred memories of enacted virtues which recounted, as they are culled from biography, shine out as distinctions.
Not so with the noble woman whom the New Market neighborhood were called to lay away in the quiet little cemetery in the rear of the Baptist Church in that village a few days since.
The ingenuity of the historian is sometimes taxed to exhibit emblazoned virtues. But the humblest neighbor of Elma Arnett could say as much as the gifted eulogian in the universal sentiment expressed in these words: "She was a Christian by the hour."
When she awoke in the morning, the radiance of the Son of Righteousness shone on her face, as she busied herself in setting her house in order; when the noontide was on her with redoubled care, she born it with "Thy will be done." "My yoke is easy, my burden is light."
When the cares of day were hushed in the quiet slumber of evening repose, the smile of Heaven played over a countenance calm and peaceful as one who has left nothing undone.
As was her daily habit so was her life work, and, as one lady friend who had observed much of Mrs. Arnett's home life remarked, "She directed a silent prayer to Almighty God every hour for her family and friends."
Poets cannot paint in rhythm or word the grandeur of the life-work and influence of a "good-woman." Her influence is as infinite as the "endless chain" without a broken link. Her family will rise up from generation to generation to call her blessed.
