Obituary of Sister Bertie BRASSFIELD

    She was born Jan. 13th 1873 and departed this life Oct. 23rd 1908 age 35 ys 9. M 7. days

Truly Death is no respector of persons it comes to one & all alike and mankind is ready to offer a tear of sympathy for there fellow man who like themselves have been visited by this grim monster.  The subject of this notice was another victim of the dreaded "White Plague" So her sufferings were severe and prolonged yet she bore her sickness with that fortitude and resignation that belongs to God's children; therefore Death came as a sweet messenger instead of a monster to relieve her pure spirit from the diseased emaciated pain riddled body and transplant it into the beautiful and blessed aboad which eye hath not seen no ear heard neither hath entered into the heart of man the thing which God has prepared for those who love him. So all is well and we would say to the husband, little boy, aged father, sisters, brother, friends & church Thompson Creek where her membership had been since she was quite young Weep not but rejoice that her sufferings are over and that she is enjoying infinite felicity in the glorious home of the blest.
