  On Tuesday mourning, November 16, 1920, Mrs. M. C. Hester calmly passed away at the home of her son, W. A. Hester. She bore her last affliction with patience, which made it a pleasure to minister unto her. She was born March 4, 1845. Leaves a husband and eleven children to mourn her departure, all of whom still live.

     In early womanhood she united with the Methodist church and remained a consistent member until the day of her death.

     She loved her church and attended every service she was able to attend.

     O, how sad it was to part with mother. She loved her children and was always doing what she could to bring them happiness. She cannot come back to us, but we can go to her if we live right here on earth. The effects of her influence and the fragrance of her memory will live forever.

                        One who loved her,
                       MRS. C. F. HESTER

Belgreen, Ala.
