In Memory of Mrs. J. N. Adams
~~~~~
Mrs. Malinda Caroline Adams, wife of J. N. Adams, departed
this life October 19th, at 3:15 a.m. Her remains were laid to rest
in the Hope cemetery. The funeral service was conducted on the
evening following her death about 5 o'clock, the services being
conducted by Rev. C. G. Howard of the First Baptist church of
Marlin.
Mrs. Adams was born July 25th, 1847, at Cuthbert, Georgia, where she
lived until the family moved to Texas. She was married in 1869 to
J. N. Adams at Brookville, Ga. She became a member of the Baptist
church in 1863, being a consistent member until her death. She was
the daughter of John and Malinda Bridges. She leaves one sister,
Mrs. Arthur Knickerbocker, and two sons and three daughters and a
host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but her going away
leaves them desolate and heart-broken, but not without hope. We
know that the has been made sad by her departure, but feel like
there is another angel in heaven.
We saw not the white-robed angel,
As it entered with folded wing,
To summon our mother
To the arms of our Heavenly King,
A precious one from us is gone;
A voice loved is stilled.
There is a vacant place in our
That never can be filled.
A Friend.
