Obituary
Died. - In Brown's Infirmary, Birmingham, June 1st, 1906, of blood poison, Mrs. Laura Ward, the beloved wife of Rev. D.W. Ward, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, South Oneonta, and daughter of the late Rev. E.W. Godbey of the North Alabama Conference. The deceased was born in Roan County, Tennessee in 1864, and was married to the Rev. D.W. Ward in 1894. The fruits of their marriage are three sons. Mrs. Ward was a woman of the most generous impulses: generous, kind hearted, a warm friend, a kind neighbor, a loving wife, a tender and affectionate mother and a good daughter. She was a faithful member of the M.E. church, South, for a number of years. Her remains were interred from the M.E church, Oneonta, on Saturday at Liberty Cemetery. The Rev. W.L. Hendricks of Cleveland officiating at the funeral obsequies.
May the turf of her native heath rest lightly on her stilled bosom, the fairest and sweetest flowers of this Southland adorn and perfume the spot, and its feathered warbles sing their tenderest matins and vespers from the overhanging boughs until time is merged into eternity!
To her aged mother, husband, sisters, brothers and children we tender our sympathies, and hope that God may direct and guide the footsteps of the motherless children in paths of goodness, honor, truth, and virtue.
