Furman, we feel, while bowing in humble submission to His divine will, a sad pleasure in being permitted to express oiir high regard for our depart ed colleague. As a friend we loved him ; as a citizen we honored him ; as a physician we held him in high esteem; therefore, be it Resolved, L That in the death of Dr. John H. Furman society has lost an upright Christian gentleman, the community and county in which he lived an earnest, active citizen, the medical profession an ornament, and the association one of its most active members. 2. This association deeply deplores the death of our associate and brother, and we extend, our sincere and heart felt sympathy to his bereaved family in this their great loss and sore afflic tion. 3. That a blank page in the min ute book of this association be inscribed to his memory. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to his family, and that they be published in the county papers. Van Telburg-Hofman, Francis M. Dwight, Committee. IN MEM?RI?M. Mrs. M. A. China, the mother of Dr. A. J. China, Mrs. E. A. White, and of others known and respected among us, was born on July 19, 1812. Her maiden name was Buddin. In 1832 she became the wife of John China, whom she survived many years. She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for more than sixty five years, and at her death was the oldest member of that faith now living in Sumter. She was the mother of ten children, eight of whom are still living. She died on March 20th, 1902, and so entered upon the eternal life, which is the gift of God. She was quiet and retiring in disposition, gen tle and unobtrusive in her ways. To her children she was loving and indul gent, and they all ?*rse together to call her memory blessed. Her closing days were lighted up with the lurid fires of Jsufiiering, and she had to go away in a fliaming chariot; but, as long as reason held its throne, she was patient and uncomplaining,. and ex hibited to those about her the beau ties of faith and love and submission to God. "Ohl in our sterner manhood, when no ray Of earlier sunshine glimmers in our way;.' When girt with sin and sorrow, and the toil Of cares, which tear the bosom that they soil; Oh I if there be in retrospection's chain One link that knits us with young dreams again, One thought so sweet we scarcely dare to muse On all the hoarded raptures it reviews, Which seems each instant, in its backward range, The heart to soften, and its ties to change, And very spring untouched for years, to move, It is?The memory of a mother's love!" Her Pastor. No. 13 is not popular with store keepers and householders, but as there are two No. 13's on every street?one north and one south, one east and one west?no one can complain of a ' lack of company.
