the county, and it was while living there that he began his work in the

Mrs. Dinah Scott died at her home at Madelaine, Mo., April 1, 1905, aged 84 years, 10 months 3 days and was laid to rest in the Scotland Cemetery Mondayevening, April 3, services being conducted by Elder D.W. Nay of Cass County, Mo. She was one of the charter members of the church of Christ at Scotland and lived a consistent christian life and was loved by all who knew her. It was hard for us to give her up but our loss is Heaven's gain and we sorrow not as those that have no hope. As the evening shades were gathering around, after a hearty supper, Grandma, as she was commonly known, laid down to rest and in about two minutes was found dead by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jane Hiatt. She leaves two sons, several grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her departure. She will be sadly missed by her son, Jas. Robb, who has been faithful in caring for her so many years and is now left without mother, father, brother, or sister to mingle with in life, but we would say, to him live so as to meet mother in Heaven.
Oh, how sadly do we miss thee, Since she passed from earth away, Borne by
angles home to rest, Eternal life shall be her stay. We loved her yes we loved her, But angles loved her more, And they have gently called her yonder shining shore. Jennie Lee.
