Miss Ora Still
   Among the gay and the grand, young and the old silent death ever intrudes. The house of the poor, the palaces of the rich alike receive his unwanted call. He severs the brittle thread burdened ties, the soul of care burdened clay, and summons these that never knew a sorrow.
   For several weeks, Miss Ora Still has been lingering as twixt life and death, struck down by the ravages of Typhoid fever, but her unusual strong constitution gave her friends hope that she would yet be restored to health and the fondest hopes are most often blighted. Last night, as the clock was nearing mid-night, her soul, as if loath to commence another day of pain and suffering, waned its way to God, who gave it.
   Ora is dead! With what dirge like sound this expression falls upon the ears of those to whom she was so dear! Her disposition was ever gentle, kind, and affectionate, and all who knew her were drawn by the invisible power toward her. She was so young too, having past but 18 summers here and these in the heyday of life that her death is to her like the ending of a pleasant dream, whose waking is among the Peri in the far off Garden of Paradise.
   With the tender, devoted love, incident to one of her disposition, the plighted troth to one who was noble, manly, and true. Their nuptials were to have been celebrated, but the ravages of disease delayed the consummation of their vows and the fist of death has postponed it forever. How many fond dreams have been rudely awakened, how many airy castles have tottered and fallen to the earth by the untimely demise? None but the young imaginatively can ever know.
   To all who loved her---her mother, brothers, sisters and betrothed, there is one glorious consolation, the Hand of God never interposes, but for the best though it may often be hard to realize. Miss Ora early gave her heart to God and never knew what sin and wickedness were so that her pure spirit will never come in contact with aught save high and Holy things.

    Lucretia Poovey was born Feb. 15, 1818, in Scotland, and in the same year was brought by her parents to South Carolina where she was raised to womanhood; professed the Christian religion at 15 years of age and joined the Presbyterian church, in which she lived a consistent life; was married to David Poovey Oct. 24, 1839; moved to Texas in an early day. 
    Here they lived and raised a respectable family of children, some of whom are our highly esteemed neighbors. She became a member of the C. P. church at Pine Grove in 1871, in which she was faithful till death, which occurred Sept. 8, 1900, being 82 years, 6 months and 23 days old. 
    A good woman gone; a mother in Israel has falllen. One by one we are crossing the narrow stream of death; soon we shall be gathered home. Let us be true to ourselves, our country and our God and all will be well. L.E. Tipps.

Columbus Phillips
    Again the News is called upon to chronicle the death of another of Rusk County's best and oldest citizens. Columbus Phillips, who passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G.B.I. Porter on last Wednesday evening. Mr. Phillips suffered a stroke a few days before his death from which he never regained consciousness. This good man was born in Georgia in the year 1832, was married and moved to Texas sometime during the 50's. When the war broke out in 1861, he joined a company in Rusk County and gave four years of his youth to the cause of the Confederacy. Upon his arrival in Rusk County, he purchased a home three miles East of Henderson where he raised his family, three in number, and upon this place he lived to the ripe old age of 78, He joined the Methodist Church at Bethel many, many years ago and was an honored member of the same at the time of his death. He leaves to his children as a heritage something that is worth more to them than gold and silver, precious jewels or cattle upon a thousand hills, and that is, the memory and impress of a well spent, upright, clean Christian life. It is indeed sad to note the passing of the old heroes, so rapidly, the men who have made it possible for us of the present generation to enjoy the privileges of this advanced age of civilization. All honor to their sacred memory. His remains were laid to rest in the Crow Cemetery beside those of his wife, who died in 1905. Many friends and old acquaintances attended the funeral of this good man. Revs Jones and Williams of the Methodist Church and Revs Gibson and Jimmerson of the Baptist Church took part in the services.

    On the morning of Dec 25th, at the home of her son, Jake Colwell, three miles west of Henderson, the spirit of Mrs. Ann Colwell passed suddenly into the great beyond. When the family arose on Christmas morning, a beautiful day when all nature seemed to catch the spirit of this most sacred day, and the little ones with hearts full of happiness, it was then discovered that the spirit of mother and grandmother had silently speeded away sometime during the early morning. Mrs. Colwell had been declining health for sometime, being 80 years of age. The family was up with her in the early part of the night, but her condition was not known to be serious. Her remains were laid to rest in Mt. Hope Cemetery in the presence of a large crowd of friends. . .

    On October 28, the Death Angel visited the house of Mrs. R.A. Poovey and took from her her loving husband. He was 83 years of age. He came from South Carolina in 1847, was married to Sarah Ann Welch and made his home near Zion Hill, where he had lived for 56 years.
    He united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in South Carolina at the age of 15. He loved his church and was thoroughly concentrated to all the obligations it imposed and was never known to respond to its calls [sic]. He uttered prayers as long as he was able to speak, and was always ready and willing to testify for his Saviour, but for many years he was unable to attend church services. We have a vacant chair in our home and we miss his sweet smiles, but God knows best and earth's loss is Heaven's gain. Mr. Poovey had a smile for everyone he came in contact with.
    For years he had been confined to his home but he bore his suffering without a word of complaint. He loved his home and children and was never too tired when his day's work was over to take his children upon his knee and sing to them from the old hymn book. All that his loving hands could do was done, but God knew best, so He took him home to Heaven to sing with the angels.
    Mr. Poovey left to mourn his death, his wife, one brother, one sister, eight children, thirty-four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
    His body was laid to rest at Pine Grove, October 30. Funeral services were conducted by Re. Cates. --Ruth.
