Pike, regret to learn of her death which occurred at their home near Oak Grove one day last week. Mrs. Pike had been suffering with consumption for several months. She was a member of the Methodist church and was a most estimable woman. The interment took place in the cemetery of Rock Springs church on last Thursday. Died at her home near Walhalla, July 25th, 1907, Mrs. Wm. C. Pike in the forty-ninth year of her age. Her maiden name was Florence Louise Jafferson, she being the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Jafferson of Walhalla. She was born at Peckham, a suburb of London, England in the year 1858. As was customary among the English gentry, she was educated under private governesses and masters, and finished in a school of young ladies. In 1870 her parents removed from England to America with their children, finally settling near Pendleton. She was confirmed in St. Paul's Episcopal church at Pendleton in the year 1876, and lived a consistent member of that church until 1906 when she transferred her membership to the Bethel Methodist church in order to be with her husband and children. In December 1881 she was happily married to William Calhoun Pike by the Rev. Chris C. Hanckel, in the Episcopal church at Pendleton. To them were born eight children – Florence, Edward, Darrell, Ralph, Philip, Glenn, Bryan and Ruth – all of whom, with her husband, survive her. She also leaves to mourn her departure her parents Mr. and Mrs. A. Jafferson of Walhalla, and three sisters, Mrs. J. T. Compton of Fair Play, Mrs. H.M. Whitten of Anderson, and Mrs. James R. Tribble of Walhalla besides a host of relatives in England. She was preceded in death about three years by her brother Morgan A. Jafferson. To the bereaved husband and family the sympathy of their numerous friends and connections are offered. Ever gentle, patient and long-suffering, she was a model wife, mother and neighbor. Her beautiful life will continue to shed its influence while time shall last; and she further left, as her last words, this precious message: "I want to go home, I am going home. I want you to come too." While the days will be long to her loved ones, we know they would not call her back, for the dear tired, suffering body is at rest, and the sweet spirit is walking with its Saviour in that city whose builder and maker is God, and in the house not made with hands she awaits her earthly loved ones. "They are gathering homeward from every land, One by one, one by one! As their weary feet touch the shining strand, One by one, one by one! They rest with their Saviour, they wait their crown, Their travel-stained garments all laid down; They wait the white raiment the Lord shall prepare For all who the glory with Him shall share."
