IN SWEET MEMORY OF MRS. URSULA GALLOWAY The death Angel visited the home of J. H. Galloway, Nov.

30, 1936, and claimed the loving wife and mother, Mrs. Ursula Galloway. She lived to the age of fifty-one years, three months and four days. She was a member of the Baptist church, •having lived a Christian until she was called to rest. She was laid to rest in Hopewell Cemetery beneath a blanket of flowers, Dec. 1, 1936. Rev. Leon Riddle and Rev. Hodgins officiating. She leaves a companion and three children, Mrs.

Idra Driskill, Mrs. Annie Jean Parker, and Robert Galloway, as well as a host of relatives and friends, mourned her death. God sent a Holy Angel down here on Earth to roam, to search among his children, and to bring this dear one home. On wings of peace, she flew away, Free from all pain and woe.

And now does sweetly rest where peaceful waters flow. Just beyond our veil of tears, God sits upon His throne. He's called our loving mother, and she from us has flown. She lives forever in Paradise and walks the streets of gold. She's clothed in snowy garments, and Jasper walls her form enfold.

Beautiful eyes are closed forever. Gone is the voice we loved so well. How sad and dark the hours! We have no power to tell. Yet, in a beautiful homeland, our mother's wings unfold. And behind the portals of Heaven, God treasures this tulip of gold. With joy, she awaits her companion, who is left in grief and tears.

I will miss her every hour throughout the future years. She's waiting for her children, who are still roaming here on Earth. Oh, what a happy meeting when they all gather at home. On the banks of sweet deliverance, we'll meet again someday. Where there will be no death beds, and none will pass away.

Again, we'll see our Mother. What a blessed, happy time. Where we can live forever while Heaven's glad bells chime. -A friend.
