The soft voice of music and of song is hushed
those tones. so sweet and gentle, are now si-
lent in death; aid another spirit, of heavens
sweetest gifts, has gone to the God who formed
and planted her here in his own image of love
and goodness-has been called to those happier
bowers, where sin or sorrow come not, and where
care or trouble do not enter. Miss Susan K.
Nealley was born in the State of New Hamp-
shire in the year 1922 and removed last fall with

the morning of the 18th of this month. The
death of the loved of any age is sad event and
affords subject for much reflection. But the
death of beloved and lovely girl in the bloom
OF life calls for unusual feeling and sympathy,
and furnishes fit opportunity to contemplate and
dwell on the Beautiful and the Good, the Past
and the Future By this bereavement, a void
has been made in the hearts of lovely circle,
that time alone can heal and Providence alone
alleviate.
She, who has gone, dwelt but few months
with US, yet the memory of her is pleasing and is
enshrined in the hearts Of a who knew her.
Winter, Spring and Summer came and AUTUMN
was browning the first year of her residence in
our midst when the Destroyer nipped this lovely
flower in full bloom. As falls the Autumn leaf,
blighted by untimely frost, so fell she, sudden
yet not hopeless. She was one Of Earth's gem
t est spirits: OF such graceful softness and of
such love Y temper, that no repining words
ever fell from her lips, not even in the last hours
OF pain and anguish. Striving to make happy,
and to do good to, all around, she ever charmed
by her sweet influences The Father has called
her home to enjoy the bliss Of heaven-in the
words of one Of her favorite chants-.In those
everlasting gardens,
Where angels walk, and Sc, apis are wardens;
Where ev'ry how'r brought safe through deaths
dark portal,
We laid her in her lone sylvan home, viii e
Autumn winds were signing and Autumn leaves
falling, and, then, silently departed, feeling how
sad it would be no more to be welcomed by her
sweet smile or kindly beaming eye. In the mar
row house sleeps she, who was mild and lovely
and though flowers bud not there now, may
Springs first blossoms DER her bloom. The pang
of parting is great. 1t is hard to give up loved
one but the separation is aIeviated by the con-
seriousness Of her happiness and that the partino
will be short. Though the hearts deepest chords
are stirred by this grievous affection still may all
be resigned to the Fathers rod and say, sThy
will be DONE"
Deeming tribute due the lovely subject of
this notice, a friend, to whom her acquaintance
was as pleasing as summertime, offers this poor
incense to her memory. - "a
Yet another blooming flower has been cut off
in the spring of life. Miss MARGARET J. NEAL
Ley the youngest Of five sisters, deceased on the
18th of this month, three days after the demise
Of her sister Susan. Like her, who went before
her, she was gentle and mild, amiable and lovely.
She possessed much softness Of manner and kind
ness of heart and was much beloved BY her as
snciatcs. Being of feeble frame and weak consti-
tuition, she departed early-scare ere the race of
ffe-had begun--at s'sweet seventeen.''
This double. affection is most sad and mourn
full, and the hearts of relatives must be how'd
down by thisincreased weight of wo when thus
their fondest hopes decay. They have the sin.
cere coincidence and sympathy of large circle
of friends and the consoling hope that the depart
ed ones have gone to realms Where spring is eter-
na-that
Z They are where living waters flow,~fta
Where lovely flowers bloom,
No pain or.sorrow do they know,
They live beyond the tomb.
