Carmel, at the Anderson Hos pital about 4:30 Monday afternoon. Mrs. Hester has beerl in declining health for several years, but just recently her condition became grave enough to carry her to the Anderson Hospital Friday evening for treatment. Mrs. Hester has lived in this community nearly all of her life. In very early life she was received into the Episcopal Church and she always loved her church devotedly because she loved her Lord with a pure heart. The increasing frail- ity due to impaired health and ad vancing years, did not deter her in that fixed purpose to worship God with the assembly of His people, and her presence and interest and inspiration will be sadly missed. She was happily married to Mr. James T ; Hester, and all through the years she rejoiced in her home and the six children with which God blessed their home. Mr. Hes ter di£d about 17 years ago and she has sorely missed him for of late so often she spoke of the parting but she made home happy by her radiant cheerfulness. ‘ Life always seemed richer and hope was bright er after you had been with her. The funeral service was conduct ed at the home Tuesday afternoon at 5 o’clock by her beloved pastor, Rev. Mr. Stuart, assisted by Rev. Mr. Porcher, a beloved life long friend. A short while afterwards she, was tenderly laid to rest by the ckfe of her husband and be neath almound of exquisitely b$au- tiful flowers, mute tributes 6f lo^e. • v Mrk. Hester is survived by an Qf herdhilclren, four sons, Messrs. Ben Hester of Texas, James Hester of Calhoun Falls, W. H. and L. L. Hester, Mt. Carmel, and two daugh ters, Mrs. Alex Mitchell of Mt.
