News From Rabbit
The community around Rabbit was deeply saddened last Friday, Jan. 22nd, by the death of Mrs. Mary Hays.
Mrs. Hays has been in feeble health for several years and her death was not unexpected.  Her remains were buried at the Pine Level Cemetery Saturday, Jan. 23rd, by the side of her husband, Stephen W. Hays, who died Nov. 5, 1879, in the presence of a large assembly of people.  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C.B.G. Johnston in a very impressive manner. She leaves one son, Mr. Jim Hays, and two daughters, Miss Mattie Hays, and Mrs. Laura Hart, all of Rabbit, besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.  Mrs. Hays was about 76 years old, has been a consistent member of the Methodist church since childhood.  She was one of the few who constituted the church at Pine Level nearly forty years ago.  She did not take a very active part in the work of the church, but her good influences were seen and felt in her home by her children and their neighbors and friends.  Her life was such as bear evidence of a pure Christian woman.  She bore her afflictions, which were long continued, with patience which but few can do.  No doubt she hated to leave her loved ones but was ever ready to meet the call of her Master.  “Truly she was a good woman.”  Her children have the sweet consolation that she is at “Rest.”
