OBITUARY
Miss Molly Hodge, the accomplished daughter of Dr.
Hodge, of Paige, died at their home on Saturday night, October 8th, 1900.
She was a good girl, always obedient to her parents and
respectful to her superiors, modest in decorum, amiable in disposition. Miss
Molly was also a Christian girl, having professed religion in a protracted
meeting, held near Paige, last summer, and when informed by her father that she
could not get well, she had no alarm nor felt any fear.
She had congestion and though her treatment was of the best,
yet there was no improvement, no help, and in a few hours death had written his
seal upon her countenance, and angel messengers bore her pure, redeemed spirit
to the world above to join the church triumphant.
The sadly bereaved family have the tenderest sympathy of all
our people, and the prayer that this severe dispensation of a Father's
providence may be borne with christian resignation, and may be blessed to their
eternal good.
