Tribute of Respect.
The whole community ?ed Bethel Cbarcb
especial.j, is sorely bereft io tbe death of Mrs.
M. J. Micbao.
She was bor., Oct. 12ib. 1846, and died
Jao. 3rd, 1901. Between these two da es ?as
lived by ber a most beatitifal and oiefal
Christiaa life.
Before ber marriage sb? wa; Miss Martha J.
Andrews Bot io 1871 eba was happily mar?
ried to Marioo J Mi:hao, with whom sba
lived as a model wife for 30 years, and until
death took ber from h m. Her husband,
three sons and three daughters survive ber
and mourn ber lose, with a large circle of
relatives and friends. One daughter, Miss
Dora, preceded ber to the boat of the blest
by only two months and a few days.
As a -nember of Bethel Methodist Church ;
as president of tbe Woman's Foreign Mis?
sionary Society ; as teacher ie the Sooday
School for 15 years ; as oos wbo was always
glad to make personal sacrifice far others'
good, sbe bad no superior and in all of these
she will he greatly raiissed
Being happily converted io early girlhood,
aud consecrating her life to the rervice of ber
Lord, ber daily endeavor was to reproduce
the life of her divine Saviour in ber life
Ber success was so marked along this line
that the universal testimony of those wbo
knew ber best, both white and black, is that
sbe was one of the best women io the world.
We bave beeo in the community a little
more than a year and we have beard nothing
bot tbe highest praise of sister Micbau by her
neighbors One said : "If I bad no other
evidence of tbe Christian religion, tbe life of
Mrs. Micbau waold suffice; ac?, if now I
were tempted to try to doubt it, the purity,
devotion, and consistency of ber daily walk
would disarm me."
Tbe large crowd which attended bar fooe
ral, as on Jan. 5th. we laid ber body to rest
by Dora's side in Bethel's beaotifol cemetery,
attest ?be high esteem io wbicb she was held
by all wbo koew ber Tbe falliog tears cf
those present show tbe bereaved family the
depths ef sympathy of the community
The preaeber and his family baye lost one
of their best friends ; one who was ever
among the first to prepare tbe parsonage for
tbeir reception and to meet them and give
them a warm welcome. Bot now sbe ie
receiving tbe reward for all ber labora ef
