Mrs. Arnett was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sayers, both of whom died before here, her mother’s death occurring just five days before her own. Mrs. Arnett was 34 years old and leaves her husband, two daughters and one son to mourn her loss. She had been a member of the Methodist Church for twenty one years and had led a most devout and beautiful Christian life. Her character was ideal in many of its attributes and she died mourned by all who ever knew her.
Her last sickness exemplified her true Christian patience. Her suffering was borne without complaint. She remained conscious to the moment of her death and just before the end came, she called her daughters to her bedside and blessing them, gave each one of her rings to wear. Her death ended a most exemplary and beautiful life. - thanks to S
