Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me, And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea; But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the Boundless deep turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark; For, tho' from uut our bourne of time And place the flood may bear me far, I hope to see m.y Pilot face to face uhen I have crosse the bar.

hituar~
Hattie For<:f was born in Mille~geville, Ge9rgia on May 15, 1901 to the union of Nathaniel and Martha Dean.
In her early childhood she accepted Christ as her personal savior and joined the Vaughn Chapel Baptist Church in Milledgeville, Georgia.
In 1922 she was united in holy wedlock to the late Mr. Willie Ford. To this union one child was born, Beatrice.
Upon moving to Chicago in 1928 she joined the New Era Baptist Church under the leadership ofRev. J. W. Whittaker. In later years New Era was changed to Union Baptist Church. Sister Ford was a faithful and dependable member of this church for 50 years.
She served as the treasurer of the Senior Missionary Society from 1954 ti11974. She also served as the president of the North Side Club.
She was a lover of people and possessed a smiling and delightful personality. Even tho she gave birth to only one child, she left a legacy of many children who loved her dearly, because she touched their lives in many ways.
