All the people of this place were made sad by the death of Mrs. H.E.
ASHWORTH, which occurred Thursday evening in the hospital at Bluefield, where she had gone for an operation of goltre. The funeral services were conducted in Springville church by Rev. W.S.
BULLARD, of Bluefield, attended by a large crowd of mourning relatives and friends she was laid to rest in the family cemetery. Beautiful and meek in life and suffering, placid and calm in death, she awaits the resurrection of the redeemed. If we could lift our thoughts above the grave and think only of the transition from this life of toil and care and many disappointments to the rest in the beautiful beyond there would be fewer tears shed over the Christian dead. Many were the noble characteristics of our dear friend and which will live and bloom perpetually in the lives of those who knew and loved her best. Her gentle, sweet disposition was well known even
among her acquaintances, but few knew of the depth and beauty of her inner life; this was revealed to her dearest friends only. Always reticent, though striving toward the highest ideal, always desiring to accomplish more in her high calling. Many knew of the patient efforts, the uncomplaining toil devoted to the children and to the sick of her
neighborhood. Her life work has ended but her influence, we feel, has only begun. She will be missed everywhere - in the home, in the church and in our hearts that will long so for her dear face in our midst.
