Obituary
of Emma Hardy Keeling:
In Memoriam
In the noontide of life, just when she could look back
with pleasant memories upon her early married life, and girlhood days, and surrounded by her beloved
children and devoted husband she could look forward to a life of joy and contentment, the Giver of life
called her home to form another link in the golden chain that binds her loved ones to the land beyond. Emma
Hardy, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Hardy, was born in Arkansas July 17, 1874. She was married
to H. S. Keeling June 11, 1891. This model husband and three children - Roy, Homer, and Bertha - survive
her to mourn her loss and await that happy reunion in the land where no parting ever comes. Sister
Keeling, while in the quietness of her home, sought and found acceptance from our Risen Lord in the
year 1892; immediately joined the Baptist Church, and has lived a consecrated and devoted Christian
life worthy of the emulation of us all. Besides being a consistent church member, she was also a member
in good standing of the K. and L. of H., and other organizations. Brother and Sister Keeling came
to Texas, reaching Dallas in 1900, and since that time have continuously resided in the State. A
father, four brothers, two of whom are here to attend the funeral services - Rev. G. B. Hardy, of Como,
Texas, and R. L. Hardy, of Winnsboro - and two sisters still survive. Sister Keeling, surrounded
by friends and loved ones, departed this life July 20, 1910. She died as she had lived, with all her
hopes resting on Jesus and knowing that there awaited her a mansion over there. The funeral services
were conducted at the Baptist Tabernacle at 3:00 p. m., July 21st, by Rev. T. C. Mahan, an old acquaintance
and friend of the family, after which the remains were interred in the family burying ground at Kit.
"Unwearied,
unfettered, unwatched, unconfined, Be my spirit like thee in the world of the mind; No yearning
for earth e'er to weary its flight, But fresh as thy pinions in the region of light."
A FRIEND. ..........................................................................
