NEVER WAS OUR SORROW GREATER BY THE LOSS
OF A DEAR FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR THAN WHEN MRS.LYDIAFLESHMAN,THE
BELOVED WIFE OF A.D. FLESHMAN,PASSED TO HER
GREAT REWARD ON SUNDAY SEPT.11,1921 AT HER
HOME IN SEWELL VALLEY THIS COUNTY. FROM HER
SORROWING FAMILY THE MAINSTAY IS GONE,AND
FROM THE PEOPLE OF HER COMMUNITY A FRIEND
IN NEED HAS BEEN TAKEN,HER WILLING HANDS
HAVING RENDERED SOME SERVICE IN NEARLY EVERY
HOUSEHOLD WITHIN HER REACH,AND HER COMMUNITY
FEELS A LOSS SUCH AS CANNOT BE REPLACED.SHE
NEVER LEARNED TO SAY,"I CANNOT GO",
WHEN A CALL CAME FOR HER TO MINSTER TO SOME
NEIGHBOR IN NEED OR DISTRESS.IT MAY TRULY
BE SAID SHE LOVED HER NEIGHBOR AS HERSELF.
