Obituary of May A. Waymire.

Mrs. May A Waytnire. wife of Daniel Waymire and daughter of Steward and Rebecca Hammond, was born October 25, 1871, died August 24, 1901. She was a devoted wife, a good neighbor, and possessed a beautiful character. The many sympathizing friends who gathered at the grave to pay the last tribute of respect, but convey dimly the esteem in which she was held. She was converted and united with the Free Baptist church in Rensselaer at the age of 14. Three years ago she put her membership in the Protestant Methodist church at Egypt, in Jordan township. The funeral was conducted at the residence by Rev. Carnes, former pastor of the Egypt church, and Rev. Ed. Meads of the Free-Will Baptist church of Rensselaer. Interment in Egypt cemetery. She leaves to mourn her departure, a husband, little son Delos, 7 years old, a father, three sisters. Miss Bertha Hammond, Mrs. M. I. Adams, and Mrs. C. B. Harrold, and two brothers, Charles Hammond of Rensselaer, and Joseph P. Hammond of Wheatfield. Then hi the Jiving God we'll trust, Who doeth nil things well. The body shell return to dust. The soul in heaven shall dwell.
