MRS. ORIS SELBY
Mrs. Stella Selby, wife of Oris Selby, died at the Sherman hospital
on October 31 at 6 p.m. after having undergone an operation for appendicitis.
Miss Stella Brooks was born on January 20, 1888. In December 1905
she was married to Oris Selby. To this union were born four children, two
boys and two girls, of whom three survived.
At the age of 15, Mrs. Selby was converted and became a communicant
of the Baptist church, retaining her adherence to that fair until her death,
and exemplifying her life all of the attributes of the consecrated and
devout Christian. In the environment of the family as a member of the church,
and as a citizen of this community, Mrs. Selby was at all times and in
every way the ideal wife and mother, the exemplary Christian and the good
neighbor and friend.
We thought as we looked at her peaceful smiling face for the last
time, ?what a beautiful life her?s was" and feel that this world will be
better for the true christian life which she lived.
Yes, it?s so sad, dear Stella, for us to give you up and we will
miss you from our midst, but we know you are happy and free of pain now,
for there is no pain or sadness in the home of God's children. And what
a sweet consolation that is". And we feel that you and the sweet little
babe are rejoicing together in a home where there is no sad parting.
Mrs. Selby left this word so quietly and peacefully, and was conscious
until the last and seemed to know and realize that her time had come. Funeral
services were conducted by Brother J. C. Skaggs of Sherman, at the Gunter
Baptist church, November__ at 2 O?clock and attended by a large number
of friends who knew and loved her. Burial was at the Elliott cemetery at
3:30 where we left her resting beneath a mound of beautiful flowers until
the resurrection day.
Now to the dear ones at home, we know you will miss her, but remember
it was God's will and she is only gone on before to wait and welcome us.
