DEATH OF MRS J D HARRELL:  Sunday night at the death of Mrs J D Harrell the shadows of grief fell upon another Bonifay home.  But the sorrow is lightened by some of the consciousness that another Christian woman has entered into everlasting rest and freedom from pain and joy in the presence of her Lord.  "Beautiful in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints," sang the Psalmist (sic) long ago, and Paul enjoins courage and faith in times of such distress.  Mrs Harrell was a faithful member of the Methodist church and of its working societies.  She was patient in the much suffering that was her lot for the last two years or since she was partly paralyzed.  With beautiful devotion her sons and daughters cared for her till the end came.  After a quiet funeral service in the home by Prof W B Hathaway the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the city cemetery.
