In Loving Memory
On Saturday night, Dec. 5th, when the shades of night had enveloped old mother earth, the Death Angel was hovering near to take from our midst the sweet spirit of our loved one, Cornelia Carter Pumphrey. All without warning was she taken from us. Little did we dream that before the rising of the morning sun that we should look on her dear form cold in death. Oh, it is so hard to give her up.
Only 34 years marked the life of this dear one. It was filled with many troubles and sorrows. She was not one to look on life's dark side, but always wore a sweet smile of welcome and had a word of cheer for her fellow man, and always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed her assistance.
She has gone from this world of sorrow and pain to her reward she so richly deserved, but we can't understand why God saw fit to take her away from us, when she was needed so for her little children. But God's will be done, not ours, and we should not question God's wisdom, but be submissive to his will. Oh, how I miss her, it seems more than I can endure sometimes, to think she has gone from us forever. But there is a consolation in the thought that we can go to her in the sweet by and by.
She was a member of the Baptist Church at Arbor Grove, where she had been a member for a number of years. She leaves a husband and eight children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her passing away, but out loss is heaven's gain.
She was laid to rest under a mound of beautiful flowers in Arbor Grove Cemetery, the beautiful burial rites being conducted by Bro. Collins of Van Vleet in the presence of a host of relatives and friends.
