The funeral services of the late Mrs. Eliza Armstrong who died last Friday were held at the home of G. W. Armstrong on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was in charge of Rev. George A. Duvall, pastor of the M. E. Church. This was an occasion of mingled joy and sorrow for the deceased who was almost ? years of age had been lying helpless and blind for more than four years. Hers was surely a triumphant death. She had been a member of the Methodist church practically all her life and up until the time of her great affliction was a tireless worker. Her death was such that it should inspire God's believing children and send conviction into the hearts of the unsaved. The services were well adapted to the occasion, the pastor taking as his text, Prov. 16:21 – "The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness." G.A.D.
