PAGE SIX THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINflTON, S. C THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1925 FUNERAL SERVICES FOR CENTENARIAN Mrs. Elliott Awry Osborne Would Soon Have Been Hundred and Four Years Old. Laurens, March 2—Funeral services ■were held today at Chestnut Ridge Baptist church for Mrs. Eliott Avery Osborne, who died last night at hes home a few miles west of the city on the Laurens-Greenville road. Mrs. Osborne, had she lived until April 15, would have celebrated the 104th anniversary of her birth. She was, therefore, the oldest person in the county so far as is known by the oldest citizens residing hereabouts. Mrs. Osborne was the widow of Robertson Osborne. For many years she had lived-alone with a pet dog and some well trained cats as her only companions. She lived near other residents, however, and had the pro tection of neighbors. Her home was, in late years, visited by people of many sections of the county, nearly all being attracted to her humble, though clean and inviting cottage, by her rare old age and the quaintness of her hospitality.

C. *4* v “As a bird to its sheltering nest When the storm on the hill is abroad, So her spirit hath flown from this world of vnrest, To repose on the bosom of God.” * Thus passed the spirit of my be loved friend. So quietly and gently was her going, those watching at her bedside saw it as “one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.” In death, as in life, Mrs. Davis showed neither rebellion nor com plaint. She faced life's problems with a courage that never failed and a pati ence that reflected the Divine of her Maker. Not as one who walks apart, but as a Christian'gentlewoman whose influ ence touched and impressed those who came within her circle. To her imme diate family she shown brightest, but the big tender heart reached on and beyond to Mother, advise and shield all who passed her way. Her inter est and 'sympathy saw neither wealth nor poverty, neither creed nor color— onfy the need of her fellowmen. No matter his station iirlife.' Truly can I say, “She was a neighbor without reproach, a Christian without hypo- cracy, a woman without guile.” Stressing not the fact that roses have thorns but rejoicing in the rose above the thorn, she lived with the mantle of charity in her hand ready to place in on quivering shoulders. A rare trait this day and time! An ancestry of outstanding worth had added glory in her life. While the heritage she in turn, leaves her children is conspicuous in its rich ness. As she honored her fore fathers, so may her children Iionor her —striving always to keep step with her high ideals. A tender, sentimental touch, so Ijke this blessed woman, was the bring ing from its folds the linen used by an ancestor nearly^ne hundred years ago. His body rested thereon after death as did hers. Preserved and treasured by Mrs. Davis, so she, too, might have it drape her last earthly couch. As I looked upon the gentle, nay, sweet dignity of her face, I felt here in fact, was “A silent lady of noble birth, who is riding away from the courts of earth.” Though time counted for her nearly four score years, death seemed to have taken twenty birthdays from her face. We who loved her (and who did not?) have lost much in her pass ing. Yet much have we in memory. The sunshine of her personality dis pelled all gloom and I feel sure she would want none to setle in our midst. We might mourn for the lost, but why for Hie redeemed ? “Shall I wear mourning for my loved one dead? I—a believer? Give me red. Or give me royal purple for the King At whose high court my love is visit ing. Dress me in green for growth, for life made new; For skies her dear feet march, dress me in blue. In white for her white soul—robe me in gold For all the pride her new rank shall hold. ' Ir. earth's dim gardens blooms no hue too bright To dress me for my love who walked in light.” ' N.
