S\ T * VI A i .1 ? 01 t l 'IEl)?un rriuav, ivciouer 01, 1902, at her homo near Vox, Mrs. Margaret A. Dnrant, wife of Rev. 1 Daniel Durant. The circumstances attending the death of this estimable christian woman are peculiarly sad, her life being?as it were?sacrificed on the altar of a mother's love. Her daughter, Lillian, was taken sick of typhoid fever and her illness lasted over sixty days; following this came the illness of Mrs. DuRant's two little boys, who contracted the same fever when their sister began to get a little better. During this time Mrs. Durant, with a zeal and devotion that is manifested only by a kind and loving mother, was unremitting in her attention to her stricken loved ones until at last the burden became too heavy for her to boar. About October 19th, her %? 7 strength gave way and she was Liken with what was afterwards pronounced walking typhoid fever. Under the strain ot many weary weeKs or anxiety her constitution succumbed to the inroads of this disease, the immediate cause of her death being heart failure. Two of the children are considered out of danger, while the third is still quite ill. The remains of Mrs. Durant were interred at Johnsonville church on 1 Saturday, Nov. 1, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. A. W. Jackson in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. Mrs. Durant was a daughter of Mr. Simon Poston. She had been twice married, first to Mr. John Cocktield, who died about seven vears ago. Her second marriage I ? ? ? took ])lace some three years ago. , May the God of all goodness coni. fort the bereaved husband and the dear children whose recovery she ; strove so earnestly to bring to pass.
