GRASSY POND, May 25. -- Just as the sun began to cast his rays of sparkling light across the green hills, just as the birds began their singing, Mrs. Landrum Wood passed from this world to another. Mrs. Wood had been in bad health for a good while, and while her death was not unexpected it was most shocking. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Swafford, the latter deceased. She married Mr. Landrum E. Wood, who, with a number of little children, mourns her loss. We can truly say that a good woman has fallen. How often have we seen her before a large class of little children in the Sunday school, but now how often are going to miss her. Before her death she told those that were trying to comfort her that she was not afraid to go, for she was going to dwell with the shining ones. A good and gentle woman gone to her rest__"servant of God, well done." "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown." These words may truly he applied to the thoughts of that good woman in her last moments. ~ The interment took place at Grassy Pond Baptist church on Monday following, where a large number of relatives and friends had gathered to pay a last tribute to the deceased. ~ The entire community shares the sorrow of the family in their sad and irreparable loss, but they can in thought be comforted by knowing that in sight of her church, beneath the shades of the oaks she lies sleeping.
