Obituary:
MRS. S. A. WHITE
Azuba Nairn was born in Calhoun county, Ill., November 30, 1849. Was married to Samuel A. White, Aug. 1, 1869. Died at Batchtown, Ill., November 17, 1898.
Again has the "Grim reaper" entered our midst and this time selected the brightest shining mark for the point of his scythe. The large audience attending the funeral exercises at the M. E. Church; the long line of vehicles wending the tortuous road to the family burying grounds at Gilead; the concourse of friends awaiting the funeral there; the husband whispers and fervent tears of old and young, rich and poor, told all too plainly how sincere was the grief felt by all at the sad realization that one more of the truly good and noble of Earth's spirits had taken its flight to the endless realms of Eternity.
Only those who knew her best realized that the community and neighborhood had lost in the removal of sister White from our midst. The highest tribute any mortal can receive was hers: in that, she was a true, consistent Christian, not only by profession, but in her every day life. She lived that life at all times and under all circumstances.
The needy never appealed to her in vain; her arm was ever outstretched to help the weak, and raise the fallen; and her words of cheer and comfort brought happiness to many sad desolate homes. No harsh word or expression of bitterness ever passed her lips; if she could say no good thing of any one, she kept silent or made excuses fo their faults. Her name was never associated with the wrangles, bickerings or strife of neighborhood talk. Without ostentation, meekly, humbly she walked in the Master's foot steps, her christian light ever shining on all who came in contact with her, making everyone better by that contact.
She leaves a loving husband, five children, an aged mother, three sisters, and two brothers who mourn her departure as no others can; but they mourn not as those who have no hope, for she fought the good fight; she finished her course; she kept the faith; henceforth, "there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness."
Her life was an exemplification of the text, "Pure religious and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit the widows and fatherless in their affliction, and keep herself unspotted from the world."
The many poor and afflicted whom she assisted so long will testify at the last day to her many deeds of kindness. She has now the promised blessing to those that do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. On the right shores of Eternal bliss she but waits to welcome them "to that house house, not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens," "Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt are felt and feared no more."
Prepare then, dear loved ones, to meet her there; walk in the foot steps of the Divine Master as she walked; the separation will be but a short one, and the bliss of Eternal love will be the brighter for the dark hours through which you are now called to pass.
