In Memoriam
Mrs. Mary Andes Hubbert, widow of the late Samuel Hubbert, passed from earth to life eternal at her old home, "Brookside", near Salem, to which she had come as a bride many years ago. She was born in Shenandoah county, where her only brother, George Andes, resided all his life. In her 85th year, having celebrated her 84th birthday on Aug. 6th, The Roanoke Times referred to her as one of the oldest citizens of the county. She leaves to mourn her loss two sons, Geo. Andes Hubbert and Rev. Wm. E. Hubbert, and one daughter, Mrs. Mary Susan Lucas, whose husband was killed in a railroad wreck on the R. & S. R. R. just one week previous.
In youth, Mrs. Hubbert united with the Ev. Lutheran church and remained a faithful and devoted member to the day of her death. She was ever liberal to the cause of Christ. None ever went hungry from her door, and she always had a kind word for those she met. Charity was a marked feature of her character. She and her husband gave liberally to the church. At one time they made a donation of $1,000 to Roanoke College. Her funeral was preached by Rev. J. E. Bushnell, D. D., of Blacksburg, assisted in the service by Revs. W. S. McClanahan, C. K. Bell, J. P. Obenshain, L. G. M. Miller, D. D , and B. W. Cronk, after which her body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery.
Living in the midst of a large number of relatives, she was held in the highest esteem. Among them all she was not known to have an enemy, and it was regarded by them all as a sacred duty now and then to visit Aunt Polly, as she was affectionately called. This filial regard was not confined to relatives, as a large host of friends and neighbors attest. Amid the benedictions of every one who knew her, with kindly affection toward all, having lived a useful, industrious, loving and lovable home life, endearing as wife and mother, in a sincere and simple Christian faith, she passed into the heaven of eternal rest, to meet loved ones gone before among whom are her husband and two sons, where there is no more sickness or sorrow, aud where the weary are at rest; where they need no more the light of the sun for the Lord is the light thereof.
Her mind and body, were remarkably well preserved and a visit to her home by friends rejoiced her very much. Neariy all of her immediate relatives had without any concert of action recently visited her to her joy and comfort. On the day of her death, September the 8th, she had enjoyed her breakfast and walked from the dining room to the old spacious front porch, where she sat enjoying the fresh morning breeze, while conferring with her son and granddaughter concerning a visit to the city of Roanoke. Without a moment's warning death came, two physicians were soon with her, but the soul had fled, in a moment of apoplexy, as the doctors said, as quickly, quietly, and peacefully as if she had fallen asleep.
