of any church but during thef
illness I know she prepared
nerself to go. The assurance
was made in a conversation
with her. Her last message to
her mother was “tell mother
not to worry, I - am alright.”
She bore her long days of suf-
fering with patience. All that
could be done by Dr’s., loved
ones and friends were done for
Chrystal.
Mrs. Tinsleys death brings
sorrow >to her many ' friends
She was married to Mr. Tins-

precious little boy, Hugh, was
born to thorn.
Chrysfatl was visiting her
mother when taken ill. The
writer knew her persorraHyiV
A more devoted wife, daugh-
ter, sister, mother and true
friend could never be found
than she. To know her was to
love her. Seems so hard to
give one so dear to the family
up, and so much needed in the
home. Just in the bloom of
youth, but we know God has
no respect for persons, the
young as’ well as the old are
taken. He doeth all things
well and for the best.
