Tribute, Mrs. Anna Calhoun Ancrum.
The following tribute to the mem
ory of Mrs. Anna Calhoun Ancrum
was read by the secretary at the last
meeting of the John D. Kennedy
Chapter U. D. C., and adopted by the
Chapter. This being the first meet
ing since her death: .
We moot onoo more a broken bund,
and with u sense of loss that even
Time with healing on his wing cannot
efface. One of our brightest and best
is not with us, nor over will be moro.
In His infinite wisdom, CJod has oalled ,
from this earthly homo to the life bo
yond, Mis. Anna Calhoun Ancrum.
She made brighter and happier every
mooting that she graced. Her cherry
presence is gone, her wise counsel is
hoard no more. Her kindly sympathy
and gracious help is but a sweet and
beautiful memory. She was a loyal
Daughter of the Confederacy. Patri
otism burned liko a holy tire on the
altar of her h,oart, and to Southern
heroes she gave a loyalty and lovu
passing all others. Her fluent pen was
was ever used as a promoter of tho
United Daughters of tho Confederacy
and with a wealth of all that could
minister to tho beautiful growth of
sense and intellect, through clime,
scene and influence, it awakened a
keen appreciation of Southern Wo
manhood as crystallized in this, ouo
of her noblest daughters. Her most
notable characteristic was loyalty to
the traditions of the old ^outh and
this loyalty was equally strong to
ward the Daughters of the Confed
eracy. These were emphasized in her
training and found full fruition in her
life. Intellect and talent crowned her
like a queen and we of her chapter
are indeed bereft without her guiding
influence. "We ask that this tribute
be placed on our minute book, pub
lished in the home papers and copies
sont to her familv.
