"None-none on earth above her! As pure in thought as angels are: To know her was to love her." As we sat meditating upon the death of that saintly woman, Mrs. Mary A. Wates, (for whom the edi tor of The Advertiser has from eirliest recollection entertained an affectionate regard, she being our first teacher), these lines of one of the poets came to mind. Yes. to know Mrs. Mary Wates was to love her. Everybody loved her. She succumbed early Saturday morning to a lingering illness, but to her death had no sting, nor has the grave won a victory. Her life in the community was a livi r\g epis tle, all who came under its b?n?fi cient influence being impressed wit h her deep piety and entire consecra tion. Her goodness and greatness of heart and soul was universally rec ognized and appreciated, being fre quently referred to as a fitting ex amplar (as far as any human being can be) in the church and commu nity. She loved her church and every department of its work, and was always loyal and faithful to every duty. She was one of the pioneers in the woman's missionary work in the Ed gu field association, never, it mattered not how lower ing the clouds of discouragement, losing interest or zeal for the work. Mrs. Wates leaves three daugh ters, Mrs. George W. Bushev, Jr.\ M.sses Effie and George Mae Wates, and one son, Mr. Charles M. Waua. The funeral was conducted from the Methodist church, her pastor, Dr. M. D. Jeffries, of the Baptist ohurch, officiating. The interment took place in the village cemetery Saturday afternoon.
