Elma Boyd Skomp only daughter of Isaac and Mary Ann Boyd was born April 19, 1871 and died Oct 29, 1905 at the age of 34 years, 6 months and 10 days. Nov 4, 1891, she was married to William S. Skomp. To this union was born two children a son and daughter Cletus B. and Hope. At the early age of eleven years she began an earnest christian life, uniting at first with the U. B. church, first at Newberry and later trasnfered her membership to Good Hope church where she remained a faithful and useful member until she was transferred to the church triumphant. In many respects she was worthy of initation. First in her devotion to her parents as a child to her husband as a wife and her children as a mother. to her God, in her fidelity to his service. Second, in her bright cheerful dispostion, which was a ray of sunshine to those with whom she mingled. The funeral services which were held at Good Hope church, conducted by Rev. Breden and Dorsey, were attended by a large concourse of pe!
ople. For the present we say goodby but it is with the thought that as the years go by and we gather home one by one that we shall meet that bright spirit glorified in the presence of our God.
