On last Sunday, after having preached at Pleasant Garden and having received a call to go to Liberty to attend the funeral of Mrs. TROY near that place, Brother H.M. BLAIR was kind enough to come to my assistance and fill my appointment at Bethlehem in the evening. 

Mrs. Nancy M. TROY was one of the oldest members of our church at Bethany and on the 19th of February, 1915, she passed peacefully away.  She was born September 3rd, 1828, and had therefore lived to be 86 years, five moths, and 16 days old.  She had been in feeble  health for a long time when she  had an attack of pneumonia which ended her earthly existence.  She had been for a long time an acceptable member of the M.E. Church, South, having united with the church in her youth.  She was a good woman and  her end was peace.  She expressed herself as ready to go and a little while before the end came she said, “All is bright and beautiful.”  On the 21st day of February, a dear and peaceful Sabbath evening, in the presence of a large congregation her remains were laid to rest in the Bethany cemetery. — P.L.
