In Memory of Nina M. Harrell
Died, of pneumonia, in Pilot Mountain, Surry county, N. C. on Feb. 15th, 1896, in the 12th year of her age, Nina M. Harrell, daughter of Andrew and Dora Harrell. The deceased was left a motherless child, and being thus, was reared by her grandmother, Christena Marshall, who was fond of the child and became more and more attached to her as she grew older. She was kind and affectionate and was loved and esteemed by all who knew her. While the bereaved grandmother and a large circle of relatives and friends mourn their loss it is with the comforting assurance that she has entered into eternal rest, having made a profession of faith in our blessed redeemer in the fall of 1895. She was a birth-wright member of the society of Friends and lived a consistent Christian until her death.
The funeral service was conducted by T. Wesley Wooten at the Friends Church on Sunday, the 16I inst., at 3 o'clock, p. m., where a large concourse of relatives and friends met to pay the last tribute of respect to a loved sister and friend. She was interred near the church to await the final coming of our dear Master.
We pass a few swift fleeting years,
And all that now in bodies live,
Shall quit, like Nina, the vale of tears,
Our righteous sentence to receive.
Laura Wooten.
White Plains, Feb. 18th, 1896.
