Death

Death of Mrs. Belinda Furr. On last Saturday, March 13th. about 1 o'clock p. m. the spirit of Mrs. Belinda Furr, widow of the late James A. Furr, passed over the river of death and is now basking in the sunlight of God’s eternal love. She was 67 years, 11 months and 5 days old and had been a member of t the Baptist church here for 44 years. She was devoted to her church, interested in every phase of the work and was always present at every service so long as she was able to go, but for many years had been confined to her bed a greater part of the time. She was the possessor of rare Christian virtues, was a good neighbor, a devoted companion and mother. This devotion was reciprocated by the children and neighbors during her illness, for every kindness and attention were given that loving hands could administer. Her pastor, Rev. A. A. Hathcock, who conducted the funeral service, Sunday afternoon from the Baptist Church paid her many beautiful tributes mentioning the different graces she possessed, speaking especially of her patience during her illness and her faith in her Lord. Often when not talking with the family or friends she might be heard communing with the Father. She was never ashamed to hold up Christ and her last exhortation to one of her grandsons was to stand firmly for the right. The services at the church and the grave were impressive. Two special quartets were sung at the grave, viz.: “Where the Soul Never Dies,” and “I’ll Live On.” The deceased is survived by five daughters, two sons, three brothers and a number of grand-children.
