IN MEMORIAM.
[By her daughter, Mrs. Emma P. Brooks.]
" A remarkably useful life bears record to her worth. Devoted,
unselfish and true ; faithful in the discharge of the manifold duties
of wife, mother, friend and teacher. God called her to Him in the
midst of usefulness rarely paralleled. As the glorious light of
immortality streams upon her enraptured vision, her dying lips gave
expression to her last words, ' Praise the Lord.' In the beauty of
the early summer time she has gone to the unfading glories of the
Eternal Summer Land. As dew drops flash back the gleaming sun-
shine, so our hearts hold brightest memories of our dead."
Her husband, Mr. W. M. Reed, has been for years past Clerk of
the U. S. District Court at Tyler, Texas. A gentleman of excellent
ability, fine education and a Christian.
