Obituary.
The funeral of Mrs. Jas. Mann was held last Saturday afternoon
from the Presbyterian church and was very largely attended. The service was
conducted by Rev. Edwin W. Lanham, to whom the Advance is indebted for the
following obituary of the deceased: Florence Iole, was born April 27th, 1886.
Her whole life has been spent in your midst, and she is much better known to you
than to me. But little could be added, if anything could be, by what I can say,
to your present knowledge, affection and esteem for her.
In my brief acquaintances with her, I learned of those traits of
character which endeared her to all who knew her; her sunny disposition, her
frank, honest confiding and trustful nature; her tender sympathy for the
feelings of others, made her life as a beam of sunshine, and an enobling
influence in the lives of her friends. But a few short years were alloted to her
for her work. May we not say that she used them in the service of Him who has
called her home. She was married to Mr. James Mann, Nov. 26th, of this year,
just 25 days prior to her death. He[r] illness was of short duration. A week
before her death a heavy cold overtook her; seemingly not serious, but suddenly
double pneumonia developed, and in a few hours the message came to come up
higher; and on Thursday morning, Dec. 21st, the plumed soul took its flight.
"When the sun in all his state,
Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through Glory's morning gate,
And walked in Paradise."
