Obituary,

Mrs. May A. Waymire, wife of Daniel Waymire, and daughter of Steward and Rebecca Hammond, was born October 25th, 1871, died August 24th, 1901. • She was a devoted good neighbor, and possessed a beautiful character. The many sympathizing friends who gathered at the grave to pay the last tribute of respect, bat 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 fourteen. Three years ago she put her membership in the Protestant Methodist church at Egypt, in Jordan towrtship. The funeral was conducted at the residence by Rev. Carnes, former pastor of the Egypt church, and Rev. Ed Meads, of the Free Baptist church, of Rensselaer, Indiana. Interment in Egypt cemetery. She leaves to mourn her departure a husband, little son Delos, 7 years old; a father, tnree sisters, Miss Bertha Hammond, Mrs. Marion I. Adams, and Mrs. C. B. Harro.d, and two brothers, Charles Hammond, of Rensselaer, Ind., and Joseph P. Hammond, of Wheatfleld, Ind. Then in the living God we’ll trust, Who doeth all things well; The body shall return to dust, The soul in Heaven shall dwell.
