Emma Legare Jones, dau. of Rev. Samuel B., D. D. [521], b. Sept,
1857 ; m., Rev. John E. Carlisle of the S. C. Methodist conference,
and (1894) pastor of the Methodist church in Darlington, S. C. She
d. Aug. 7, 1894 in Spartanburg, S. C.
The Darlington Herald of Aug. 10, 1894 has the following :
"The
members of the Methodist church and the community generally were
very much grieved on Wednesday by the receipt of a telegram announc-
ing the death of this estimable lady, which sad event occurred in
Spartanburg on Tuesday night. About two months ago she left
Darlington to spend the summer with relatives in Spartanburg and
was with them at the time of her death. About 18 years ago she

was universally popular with all classes of people. At an early age
she connected herself with the church and during all the years of her
after life illustrated the teachings of Christianity both in her walk and
conversation. She accepted with perfect faith the sublime teachings
of Christianity in their truest and most liberal sense and neither sec-

community will sympathize most deeply with her afflicted family and
friends and especially with the one on whom the bereavement falls so
heavily. The remains were interred at Spartanburg on Wednesday,
Aug. 8, 1894." Just as the above is being printed, the sad news
reaches us of another and deep affliction which has, in the Provi-
dence of God come to the family of Mrs. Carlisle, by the death of
her father, Rev. Samuel B. Jones, D.D., of Columbia, S. C, who
passed from earth to heaven, Sept. 1, 1894. He had been in feeble
health for several months, but it was thought that the bracing air of
the mountains at Saluda, N. C, where he was passing the summer,
