ESTEEMED WOMAN PASSES ON
Host of Frlenda Attend Fan oral
and Burial Service
The funeral serves of Mrs. Edith
E. Holder, who died November 10,
1922, was held in the Berea Christian
church, Sunday, November 12, at X
p m.
Every available bit of space In tho
newly enlarged church building, ex
cepting that reserved for the roll
tives and pall-bearers, was occupied"
even before the funeral cortege ar
rived. Crowds were standing in the
halls and or; the lawn of tho church,
and many were turned away.
More than a hundred automobile
were driven in the funeral procession
from the church to the Berea ceme
tery, where her remain were buried
beside the grave of her twin sister,
Clara, who died when only two year
and four months old.
Rev. R. B. Baker, who conducted
the funeral service, made a most fit
ting address on the increased attrac
tion of heaven for those who have
loved ones and frler.da there. H
emphasised the loss sustained by the
family, church, and community, be
cause Mrs. Holder, so faithful a
servant of God, had been called up
higher, saying that we had gathered
there not so much because one had
died, but because she had so truly
lived. He was assisted In the service
by Rer. H. W. Carpenter, Pastor of
the First Christian- church of Rich
mond, Ky.; Rer. H. W. Elliott, Sec
retary, Kentucky Christian Mission
ary Society, and Rer. C. E. Vogel, of
the M. E. church of Berea.
Fitting indeed were the words of
Rev. Carpenter when he prayed, "0
Lord, we pause today in the after
glow of a most beautiful life." The
extent of the influence of Mrs.
Holder's life could be easily tented
by the great throng of her frlenda
attending the service, and by tha
many beautiful floral offering that
came from far and near.
Mra. Holder wat the daughter of
Jamas M. and Martha & ' Early.
She waa tjorr; November 1, 1887.
When but seven years old she was
baptized and united with the Chris
tian church of Berea, in which she
has been one rf the foremost active
workers in all the organization con
reeled with iu work. She was
married to Rev. Charles B. Holder.
June 1, 1911. To them were bom
three sons, James William, now ton
years of age; Charles B., eight
and Worth Davis, six. The out
standing characteristics of their
married life were thai devotion to
each other, and their mutual interest
in the work of the church they so
faithfully served, ar.d the upbuilding
of Christ's Kingdom, for which they
so nobly sacrificed. Mrs. Holder was
a music teacher of rare ability and
an artiat in rendering claaaical and
sacred music on the piano.
Mrs. Holder's life and memory
shall ever continue to be an inspira
tion to all who knew her. W shall
ever remember her as a loving wife,
a faithful mother, a devoted child, a
helpful stater, a true friend, a valu
able neighbor, and a noble Christian,
Having lived but thirty-five years, the
had put into her life to much of tho
Christ-spirit that her accomplishment
in rendering service to others wat
truly great
The host of friends In tho town
and thruout tho country-aide, and

all the bereaved loved ones, and free

ic render.
Every detail of tha funeral tervice
in tht home, the church, and the
cemetery waa most efficiently carried
out by R. H. Chrisman, undertaker,
who, with hit wife, wat a very clot
friend of the family.

anything else. European nationa
