For some weeks the face of a mi!d-
tempered, sweet-dispositioned little
lady who had become familiar to the
residents of Gaffney because of ber
daily drives about the city in the
discharge of her duties, has been
missing.
It is with regrets we must say her
absence henceforth will be perma
nent. Answering the summons that
we ail must answer sooner or later,
Mary Ellen. \*ife of Prof. John R.
Mack, principal of Cooper-Limestone
Institute, went to her final reward
last Saturday morning about four
o’clock. Mrs. Mack had been sick
about five weeks. From the first
she began to decline. At times she
would rally only to decline again. A
couple of weeks ago it was decided to
take ber to some health resort hut
she had already become too iil to be
moved. Learned doctors and skilled
niirses did all in their power for the
patient sufferer but to no avail. She
had iinished her course and had been
called up higher to receive the "well
done, thou good and faithful ser
vant,” of her Master.
Mrs. Mack was a Miss Darby, of
Newberry. She was in her thirty-
ninth year. She was the mother of
three children, two of whom, with
her devoted husband, survive her.
Prof, and Mrs. Mack moved to
Gaffney two years ego last vein ter to
take charge of Cooper-Limestone.
Mrs. Mack was of untiring energy
and the phenominal success which
lias attended that institution for the
past two years is us much due to her
labors as to that of Mr. Mad: him
self. She was a lady of rare busi
ness talents and assisted herhusband
as only a good woman can. She was
also a devoted Christain woman and
the good examples she set for the
students who have attended the in
stitute since she has been connected
with it will live ever after.
Gatlney can ill afford to give up
such a shining star, hut then we all
must submil to His will,
The funeral services were con
ducted in the chape! of the institute
Sunday morning at 10:550 by Rev. II.
P. Robertson, of the First Baptist
Church. The chapel was filled with
the friends of the family who came
to pay their last tribute of respect to
the deceased. The services were
very impressive. The singing was
especially appropriate. After the
regular services by Mr. Robertson
Prof. H. P. Griffith delivered what
might justly be termed the funeral
oration. He spoke in parts as fol
lows :
My friends, it is very hard for any
man to know and to say just what
ought to be said on an occasion like
this. We stand face to face with a
solemn over-powering fact. It is
strange—passing strange—just as
strange as it was to us in childhood,
when we were filled with awe by its
mystery and over-shadowing presence
—the mystery and presence of death.
I remember well that when I was a
little boy at school, I had a play
mate whom I dearly loved. One
morning he was missing from ihe
school and we were told that he was
sick. Another morning came and he
was still missing and we were told
that he was worse, and before many
days the word came that lie was dead.
T^en I remember well how the over
whelming mystery pressed upon our
childish hearts, how wo walked on
tin-toe and talked in whispers, and
how a party of us went out into the
woods, and one little fellow said, "it
don’t seem like it is so, does it?”
And we all said “no, it don't, no, it
donT.” But it was so. and it is so
and it will be so till every human
family on this earth shall have beeo
broken up and gone hence to die no
more. It is a common inheritance, a
debt wo owe which can never bo dis
counted, the MA old fashion, as a
patriotic writCl^alled it. yet ever
strange and evWrnew. But thank
God with him, tor that other old
fashion of eternaL life, for the old
story of redemption, for the light of
God’s truth that shines, even through
the darkness of the grave! How
dark and hopeless would be this short
and precarious life if there was no
light ahead, if there was no old story
to be told!
My friends, with a heart full of
sympathy and sorrow, I feel utterly
incompetent to portray Mrs. Mask’s
strong, beautiful, exalted, well-
rounded life. I feel utterly helpless
in the presence of such a life. She
consecrated her life to God in early
youth, and through all the trials of
w’omanhood, of wifehood and moth
erhood her faith never weakened, her
hopes were never darkened, her
steps never faltered. She scattered
sunshine along her pathway and
flowers of hope and happiness and
beauty sprang up in her foot-prints,
while she ever pressed forward to
higher and better and purer things
than any she had left behind. Hhe !
was the light and joy and power in
her family, and no one could long as
sociate with her without having his
heart strengthened, his hopes bright
ened and his whole being tilled with
influences calculated to make him a
better, purer, and stronger man. I
felt the power of her life, and 1 ifnow
that what I say is true. There could
be but one end to such a life ; whether
it came in the morning, or at, noon
day, or at the gathering twilight or
the evening, the end must be peace-
fur, hopeful and triumphant. She
met it in the noonday, in the full
maturity of her powers, with u calm
ness and resignation that almost
amounted to cheerfulness. She called
her loved ones to her bedside and
gave them her last assurances of love
and devotion and the last requests of
a wife and mother, with the calmness
c.f one starting on a short, pleasant
journey, or as if she were wrapping
"the drapery of her couch about her
and lying down to pleasant dreams.”
Her words on that occasion were too
sacred to be repeated by my poor,
babbling tongue. But they will be
treasured up iu the loving hearts of
her noble husband and her devoted
children, and they will be a guide
and support, a cheer and u comfort,
a sweet memory and a living power
in many dark hours of trial and de
spondency. How beautiful is such a
life! How beautiful is such a.death !
How glorious the life beyond! Does
not each one here pray in his heart,
"Let me die the death of the righteous
and let my last end be like his.”
My friends, that is the story in brief
est outlines—that D my heart’s fee
ble tribute of sympathy, affection,
and admiration. The Lord grant
that it may have done you good to
hear it, and that we all may catch
an inspiration from it to live better,
purer and nobler lives, so that we,too,
may meet the last enemy without
fear or regret.
The reuiains were then carried to
Limestone Cemetery, and there de
posited to await the summons on the
last great day. The pall bearers
were: Messrs. J. A. Carroll, H. 1’
Griffith. L. G. Byars, R. O. Sams,
