R. E. Lee Chapter.
The meeting of the Robert E. Lee
chapter on Friday afternoon was the
sweetest, at the nanu- time the saddest
in its history. Since the iuat thioter
gathering, the two oldest and beBt bt_
loved members of the organization I
have answered their last roll-call. As I
long as life and strength remained to '
them, the Robert E. Lee chapter had
no more loyal or interested members.
Their sweet faces and gentle manner..;
brightened every meeting, and truly
urgent was the cause .that prevented
their attendance.
Then this the first gathering after
their falling on sleep, was dedicated
to them. Mrs. Sallie Seaborn Sloan,
and Mrs. Lizzie Hammond Bleckley.
Resolutions in honor of Mrs. Sloan
were read by Mrs. R. C. Webb, resolu
tions in honor of Mrs. Bleckley, by
Mrs. J. P. Sullivan. A beautiful letter
of appreciation of the chapters love,
-and attentions to Mrs. Bleckley was
written by her daughter, and read by
Mrs. J; M. Paget. Mr. 0. L.: Martin, a
former pastor, and a warm friend of
Mrs. Sloan; then told the audience
something- of Mrs ' Sloan's beautiful
life and character aa he know it. Mrs.
Grace Cochrane In a. sweet way: told
something of her early friendship and
school girl associations' 'with* ''Mrs.
Bleckley. She also reaci a letter which
she had received from 'Mrs*. ! Bleckley
IaBt winter rrom Baltimore. a< variable
voice-from the tomb. MrS.'Nora HUb-1
bard, in a talk straight front' -:the J
heart spoke cf nor associations with
Mrs. Bleckley In W. C. T. Us work.
Con Bonham paid a 'beautiful and
heartfelt tribute to' Mrs Bleckley as
he has known her. A tribute of lov?
written by Mrs/ R. C. Hoyt lovingly
rociililn15 the associations c? a lifetime
with her friend and kinswoman
"CoUBin Lizzie." was read by Mrs. J.
R. Vandiver. Mrs. Vandiver paid feel
ing tribute to both Mrs. Bleckley nnd
Mrs. Sloan as she has been asso
ciated with them in chanter, and in
social life. Mrs. B. F. Wilson read a
beautiful testimonial of love and Ap
preciation of Mrs. Sloan. Music for the
occasion was arranged by Mrs. George
Butler, and was furnished by Mrs. Wm.
Muldrow. Mrs. W. H. Nardin and MIsb
Martha Bouham in beautiful and ap
propriate solos, and a chorus of the
well known hymn "There'll be no
dark valley when Jesus comes."in com
munication of a characteristic inci
dent In Mrs. Bieckley's life. Some
years ago on one of her many trips,
she with a party of people 'was walk
ing through a very dark tunnel. A wo
man slipped and fell;-" and in hor
fright screamed. The black darkness
preventing the crowd from seeing
what had happened, a panic was im
minent. Mrs. Bieckley's unfailing
quick wit came into play. She started
singing that hymn, which was taken up
by others, the tumult quieted, and a
panic averted.
At the close of the hot afternoon,
Mrs. Bonham and Miss Welsh, assisted
by Misses Martha Bonham and Rhoda
Vandiver. served a cooling Ice with
cake to the audience.
Each guest present went away with
a feeling of renewed lovo for, and
nride in the two noble women who
had so long been among them, gentle
ministering spirits, worthy of all em
ulation.
Mrs. M. L. Bonham, and the Members
of the Various Clubs, especially the
R R Lee Chapter cf the City of An
derson. S. C.
My Dear Mrs. Bonham:
Wo desire to eipresk - to you, and
through you, the members of those
clubs' who purpose to meet and at>.
honor to the memory of her whom you'
all loved so well, our love and appre
ciation of your Intended action. Love?
because you are her friends, and ap
preciation for 'all that you dtd to
make her a happy member of your
olub life.
We rejoice with you that she In re
turn gave so much, and added so
much to the pleasaure and usefulness
of all the organisations, and that you
feel greatly her loss we. - are fully
aware.
. Especially do we feel and appreciate
your love and sweet tenderness to her
during those dark and shadowy days
when she lay prostrate on her couch.
I her every moment full of pain and
anguish. Oh can we ever forget those
darksome hours? But about her dear
[ form and near ber sight, you kept
I earth's fairest plants and flowers, and
ofttmes, when a moment of peace
would come, her beautiful eyes would
gate long and lovingly upon them, aad
she would Inhalt! their sweet perfume.
And Lhou again your almost daily
visits to make Inquiries, and yuur sad
and tearful faces as you went away
utterly powerless to stay the grim
monster, or allay the relentless hand
of diseuse, yyur hearts woutd he up
lifted to God in prayer for tier relief.
At last the hour came, you heard
the sad tidings with genuine grief,
for you ull loved her, and felt a per
sonal loss. You came and Kent pale
sweet flowers, and entwined the ivy
and laurel into wreaths and garlands,
and laid them about lier loved form.
You whispered words of comfort and
hope to those who were nearest'and
dearest. You followed with hushed
footsteps to the grave, and at the
close of a brilliant day as the sun was
sinking In the western sky. and even
ing lit her faint Btar. You saw the cur
tain of night fall upon her so loved
and honored, and now you meet today
to tell of her noble deeds and mingle,
your tears together. It Is indeed good
to know that her friends will always
remember her, and will think of her
thus: \
There came a foul to the Gate of
Heaven?gliding slow.
"A soul that was ransomed, and for
given, and white ai snow.
To the Golden Gates of Morn they car
ried hor, and tho angels all wore
silent.
Now. open the gate, and let her In,
And fling it wide,
For Bho has been cleansed from pain
and sin?
The angels were silent, and we know
that she entered in."
Sincerely your friend,
MRS. J. J. FRETWELL AND SISTERS
