Full of Years and Honors.
After a lingering illness, borne

spirit of Mrs. Octavia Barby Moses
passed Thursday eve from this scene of
earthly suffering into the rest eternal
of the great Beyond.
"Life's race well run.
Life's work well done,
Life's crown well earned."
A noble, charitable woman has gone
from our midst, one who possessed
vthV'esteenr^smd-higbest-iegard of the
entire community. The poor have
lost .a friend whom they cannot re?
place; ber open banded generosity was
bestowed wherever sorrow or poverty
existed irrespetive of creed, and her
bounty was given in such a modest, un?
ostentatious manner that often the r??
cipients knew not to whom they were
indebted for gifts that lightened the
burden of life. No memory dims the
luster of this life just ended, which
extended beyond the limit of three
score and ten. Who can measure its
influence? As wife, mother, friend
and neighbor her example will be a
beacon light to those who come after
and, "Her children rise up and call
her blessed."
The community in which she lived
for so many years attest her loss by
universal regret, and her name will
ever be honored by those whose privi?
lege it was to know her. The rarest
handiwork of God-"a noble woman,
nobiy planned ""bas won the reward
of a* life well spent, and, having
fought the fight bravely, finally
"Sank down among the lillies with
folded wings to rest."

ed. This was, probably, the first
monument erected in the South to
honor the memory of those who gave
their lives for their country's cause.
This was one of the many noble acts

Carolina's most honored daughters.
