GOOD. - On the 2d of July, in Rockingham county, Va., of consumption and heart disease, Anna, wife of Christian Good, aged 48 years. The interment took place on the 4th of July in the Weaver church burying-ground. The services were held by Daniel S. Heatwole, Samuel Coffman and Jos. N. Driver. Text, Deut. 33:27.
Sister Good had been ailing for some time, but died very suddenly and unexpectedly while the doctor was in an adjoining room mixing medicine for her to take. She was one of those useful helpers in the neighborhood, exemplary sisters in the church, and devoted mothers and companions in the home which we, as human reasoners, cannot see how to spare. But the Lord knows how, and why it is so; what His will ordains is best, though we may not understand it. A correspondent from the neighborhood writes: "I do not remember that I have ever known the saying Death loves a shining mark, more fully verified than in the death of Sister Good. The light of the home has been suddenly extinguished, and the heart-strings of the husband and children have for the first time (by death in this family) been most severely wrung." May her beautiful Christian life be ever imitated by her children, and her many friends who knew her but to love
her.
