{from Elm Springs} "Her sun is gone down while it is yet day." These appropriate words from Holy Writ formed the basis for the remarks delivered at the funeral of Miss John Mount Wednesday evening. After a brave fight for two years with tuberculosis she entered into rest Tuesday morning in her 28th year. She was the youngest daughter of Mrs. Kate Mount, being named for her father who was assassinated at Fayetteville in 1881. Her mother's family moved from Stony Point to Elm Springs about ten years ago and she immediately gained and held the friendship of the entire community. Being highly endowed in every way her friends looked forward to a life of much usefulness for her. But it was decreed otherwise. She gave directions concerning her burial which were carried out as far as possible. The following young men, her friends for years, acted as pall bearers: E.O. Horton, Houston McCoy, Walter Sherman, Will Fergus, George Venable and Charles Sherman. A number of friends and relatives from Stony Point, Mt. Comfort and Robinson were present at the burial. Mrs. Kate Mount has asked us to express the thanks of herself and family through the columns of The News to the many friends who assisted them in their recent trials. The many kindnesses shown their loved one and the words of sympathy spoken in their darkest hours will always be gratefully remembered.
