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.
