| Text | The anchor of time was cast, the ship that sailed over the peaceful sea
and landed in the harbor of sweet deliverance, where saints immortal dwell
in eternal happiness, for living the good prescribed in the book of books,
the Holy Bible. Sadness pervaded this city, when the announcement was made of the sudden passing of this excellent wife, mother, citizen and neighbor, esteemed by everybody who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Mrs. Nancy Samantha Horine wife of our esteemed fellow citizen Michael Horine of this city, passed to her reward, Monday afternoon August 26, after an illness from Saturday night, of bowel trouble, aged 69 years, 5 months and 9 days. She was born 1 1/2 miles east of Corsicana, this county, March 17, 1849, and was a daughter of the late Mr. J. N. and Nancy Fly, old and highly respected citizens of this county, during life. She was a sister of the late Hon. Wm. A. Fly, Rev. Bentley Fly, D.C. and Marion Fly, and one sister, the last one of the family, Mrs. Paralee Woodward of near Purdy, survives her. She was married to Michael Horine, Jan. 30. 1868, by the late Asa Carlin, and to this union were born six children, three of whom survive the mother, who are; P.E. Horine, Mrs. Cora Hawk and Miss Etta Horine of this city. She was converted to Christ in 1868, at old Mt. Joy Church near her girlhood home at a meeting held by late Rev. Carlin M. Wright a Methodist minister. She later united with New Sire Baptist Church and moved her membership to Cassville. Rev. J. W. Keltner conducted very impressive funeral services at the Baptist Church in the city, Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m., where a large number of relations, neighbors and friends assembled to pay the last tribute of love and esteem to the memory of an excellent woman. The remains were interred in Oak Hill Cemetery. Her life was emblematical of good deeds and her memory will ever remain fresh and green in the minds of her loved ones. |
