IN MEMORY OF MRS. ANNA M'AFEE

       It is difficult to try to write of one whose life has been a constant expression of devotion and service. It is more difficult when you feel so unworthy for such a task.
      I know it must be hard to try to go ahead with your daily routine when your ever-waking thoughts are of her, and that she is gone and never again will you see her smile and hear her welcome voice. Sure, it won't seem like home to enter her room and not find her there. So many times has she seemingly been at the door of death and then came back to you, but this time she passed through the gateway that leads to that beautiful home over there where there'll be no more suffering and sorrow, and good-byes are not spoken.
      She bore her sufferings patiently, making the remark as the end was drawing near: "Isn't is awful to be this way?" She knew her days were numbered, but appeared to be better, and her passing came as a shock to the loved ones who stood by. She has just proceeded you; where she has gone you may go also.
      She was your wife and mother, my neighbor and friend. Our loss, but her gain. Heaven is brighter and nearer since her going. She is waiting and becons your coming. May it be yours to behold her, to clasp glad hands in a glorious reunion where heartaches are not felt and good-byes are not spoken. While you are waiting that glad day, may you strive like mother desired, and be comforted with the thought that she was ready for the call.
      She was born to Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Thurman, Dec. 25 1882, at Cooper, Texas. Professed faith in Christ 26 years ago, and later joined the Star Ridge Baptist Church. Married to B. L. McAfee, Dec 25, 1906. To this union four children were born, two preceding her in death in infancy. She leaves to mourn her going, her husband, two daughters, one granddaughter, Miss Willie Lou McAfee; Mrs. Clyde Ponder and Marjorie Lou; mother, Mrs. E. A. Thurmon, Quanah, Texas; five sisters and two brothers, Mrs. T. M. Lewis, Dallas; Mrs. Wess Blalock, Mrs. J. F. Sparkman, Winfield; Mrs. Ray Detwiler, Rantoul, Kansas; Mrs. Frank Clemmons, El Centro, Calif.; Mr. D. A. Thurman and Dr. W. E. Thurman, Quanah. Texas, and a host of other relatives and friends.
     She died June 4, 1933.
     Funeral Services were conducted by Bro. Yeager and Bro. A. J. Findley, after which her body was laid to rest under and embankment of flowers in the Green Pond Cemetery to await resurrection.
