Cf Mr. Geo. Koiner decd in the list year OF
her age The deceased connected herself in the
| morning of her life with the Evangelical Luth-
eran church. and from the day she ratified her
| baptismal vows by the solemn and imposing GER
emory of confirmation, she labored faithfully to
| live the life of sincere and devoted christian
| and to adorn her profession by pious walk, and
| Cody conversation. Her children and grand
children can never forget her earnest christian
admonition, and the great interest she always
manifested in their spiritual welfare. For elev-
| en- long years the deceased was the subject of
great suffering; and during the greater portion
of that time she was confined to her bed, and had
to endure the most excruciating pain; but to the
glory of the christian religion, and the sustain
ing power of Gods grace, it can be said that she
was never heard to complain, or to charge God
with severity in his dealings with her. In her
long affection the grace Of God was wonderfully
magnifed, and the Importance of having a well
! founded hope in a crucfied Savior was exhibited
| in the most unmistakable manner On the even
| ing before her death she summoned her children
| to her bed, and gave them her last christian and
maternal admontion and entreated them as
none but christian mother could do, to meet her
in heaven. Long may the scenes of that melan-
choly evening have their influence upon the
hearts of that afflicted and sorrowing family, and
we hope that when God comes to make up his
sentimental host that not one member of that
family shall be missing. We feel thankful that
we not called upon to mourn as those who
mourn without hope.
| Dear Grandmother, we know that you cannot
return to us, but God be praised that by His
helping grace we can go to you, and when we
meet in our Heavenly Fathers house, we shall
have no more pain and sorrow-ttiere we shall
| have more weeping-there we will meet to
part no more. Farewell, dear Grandmother,
till we meet above. MoLLIE.
