Har per, for several years pastor of the Opelousas Methodist church appear ed in a recent issue of the New Or lean Christian Advocate, official or gan of Louisiana Methodism: Mrs. Agnes Mary Stokes (nee Hayes) was born in St. Landry par - ish, La., March 2, 1856, and passed to her heavenly home on Feb. 24, 1921. She was married to Hiram Burr is 1875. To them were born two sons. Lester and Chars, and a daughter, Miss Anita. 4 She was a widow some years after Mr. Burr's death, and in 1903 she married J. T. Stokes,' who, with her three children, survives to cherish fondly, the memory of a good wife and devoted mother. She united with the Mehtodist church in early life, and gave to it forty-seven years of earnest service. She was truly a good woman and a home-builder of the old type. She loved her church and the service of the sanctuary, and was a warm friend of her pastor and family. She went from us so sudden ly that the family scarcely realized that she was leaving them till she was gone. The parting words were not spoken, but her life was the tes timony. She had served her Master so long that when he called, she was ready to cease from labor and enter into rest. The sacred writer has well paid, ''The memory of the just is blessed." J. D. HARPER.
