ing of Mrs. D. W. Harling which
occurred at her home in Mt. Car

In early girlhood days she accepted
Jesus as her personal savior and
united with the A. R. P. Church
mid all through life she was loyal
and true to her church and her
Ood. Her life has ever been an in
spiration and her influence will
live on for years to come.
She was a true wife, a loving
mother, a loyal and true friend, a
kind, thoughtful neighbor, a very
enthusiastic church worker and a
splendid woman with a fine per
sonality and many noble traits of
character. She trusted fully in her
Maker and fell asleep in the blessed
assurance of the glorious resur
rection and the life beyond.
Funeral services were conducted
at the A- R. P. Church here Mon
day afternoon at 3:30 by her pas
tor, Dr. S. W. Reid, assisted by Rev.
A. L. Doty, and a little later the
body was laid to rest in the Mt.
Carmel Cemetery beneath the love -
ly flowers.
Surviving besides her husband
are one daughter, Miss Monnie
Harling, and one son, Mr. Ben Har
ling, Atlanta, Oa., one grandson;
Mr. Walter Steveson, Birmingham,
