To many souls the battle is long and the suffering intense, even more severe than seems just.

Read More	For a brief span and short humanity wages a conflict with the elements and conditions here on earth. To many souls the battle is long and the suffering intense, even more severe than seems just. There are those who chafe and fret under the pains and ordeals, grow languid and despondent, but sharp in contrast to such characters stand those whose every infinite atoms seem permeated with perseverance, animated with courage and sustained by enduring patience and positive reward in another life. Of this kind the world has so few and each departing soul is a distinct and irreparable loss to those left here. Such a character was liberated from the sorrowing and suffering of this tenement of clay when Emma W. West, wife of E. T. West, fell asleep in Jesus at the family home, two miles north of Sherman, Kans., Lord's Day evening, April 17, 1910. Emma Waller Cammack was born in Hopkinsville, Christian county, Ky., Oct. 31, 1844, went with the family of her father, G. W. Cammack, to Illinois in 1858, and on Oct. 8, 1871, was married to Elijah T. West, of Sherman, Kans., who, with two sons and one daughter, survive her, one son having preceded her to the Great Beyond. The children, Mrs. G. W. Hayden, of Sherman, Kans., J. S. West, of Columbus, Kans., and Thomas H. West, of Oklahoma City, Okla., were all at her bedside during her sickness. Here was a life of self-sacrifice for her friends and family and her sunny, cheerful disposition won the affection of young and old. This same bright, joyful characteristic was the salient feature of her temperament, and as the autumn of life advanced, ripened and mellowed into an enduring patience. She professed her faith in Christ and united with the Church of Christ when young. Her religion was a practical application of her early training and her precept and examples exemplified the courage and convictions of a strong heart. Her faith was simple, but positive. Sure that separation from the body meant happiness and rest from the long suffering which she bore with heroic and exemplary patience and fortitude. As the evening of life drew near she laid her burden down and went away at the close of day to her reward of rest. The funeral services were conducted at the residence by Elder C. E. West of the M. E. Church, of McCune, Kans., after which the remains were laid to rest in Sherman Cemetery. (The Modern Light, Thursday, May 5, 1910)
