sistent member of the Christian Church. Her fune-

Of her reward in heaven. The death of her mother
gave to her guardianship. when but child, two
younger brothers; SO that her girhood was spent in
wachfulness, as her maturer years were in the at
tentive training of her children. Those who knew

ces There was no relation ia life where she was
not found faithful and true. An aAectionate wife,
devoted mother, kind mistress, generous and good.
The community has lost member whom it could i'll
afford to spare; the poor one from whose door they
meyer turned away but with thanks. Modest and un-
assuming, yet winning, she had many friends and
but few i any enemies. She most loved by these
whs knew her best. For several days Immediately

one whose hand we shall never grasp again, whose
voice shall never hear, and who on earth we shall
meet no MORE Such are our feelings while we pen
