Z Mills
/ LOCKE-Thursday, February 18th, Otis
Haven. infant son OF c. y. and Amelia d.
/ Locke aged months and days.
Although the little traveller had Journeyed
with them but six short months, yet his low
| ing heart had given him a sacred place in
the affections Of those who received his ca
resses and ministered to his wants.
There is something sacred and beautiful in
the death Of little child,-which is plueked
like bud before it is faded, or worm-eaten,
and before its fragance is wasted, to adorn
and perfume the bosom Of its owner, "Of
such is the Kingdom Of Heaven" ".
RICHARDs-After short but painful ILL
ness, on the Sth OF February, Joseph Rich
ards in the 18th year OF his natural life.
He belonged TO that class Of men blest
with good constitutions and courage, with
patience to work and wait. The pioneers
who left their homes in the East, followed
the trails through the wilderness, and set
tied in the midst OF heavy forests, without
roads, school houses, churches, or fields to
cultivate, and with axe, rifle, loom and
spinning-wheeI have made rich farms, fine
roads, school houses and churches, deserve
well Of those who are permitted to enter in
to the rich inheritance they have left.
Joseph Richards belonged TO that class,
having settled in Seneca county in 1923, and
has passed through the hardships Of the ear
lier settlers OF a new country.
For hfty-three years he had been an ae-
eeptable and useful member of the N. E
Church. His cabin was the home ofthe early
itinerants, and his money has been cheer
fully given to the support Of the church,
while none were rich and most were poor.
He had the honor Of entertaining Bishop
Asbury at his table. The sacred links that
connect us with the trying events of the
past arelfast passing away. His illness was
short, but his EufferingE were severe. Sur
rounded by his family, he was constantly
cheered with the presence:of the Saviour he
had trusted and loved 50 long. His life was
blest and his end was.peace. W.

inst, Of Cancer Of the bowels and an abscess
or seirrhus affection of.-the liver, Adella NJ,
wife of ErastuS Jones, and daughter Of DR..
Price Of Clyde, aged "a years.
Her disease, it is suppos ed, was contracted
by her untiring devotion, and constant care
of her father-in-laW during protracted ILL
ness Of cancer Of the bowels, of which he
died some months ago. She struggled against
the fatal disease for many months, suffering
great agony, beyond the power of human
tongue TO describe; still patient, uncom-
planning, loving and fOrgiving,;,a a cheerful
word for every one who call to see her
Kind and affectionate in her family, pleas
ant andifriendly In all intercourse.with 9TH
ers. Perfectly resigned to the will of Him
who doeth all things well. Sheleaves ahus- |
band and three small children, a father,
mother and sisters, with numerous friends
to mourn their loss. Their loss is her eternal
gain.
On Tuesday a large concourse OF sympa-
thizing friends met to pay the last tribute of
respect to her whom they held in high es-
TEEN. A sermon on the occasion by Rev. J.
K. Eckman, from these words: "For we
have no continuing city, but we seek one to /
come"
Her heart is no longer the seat
OF trouble and torturing pain;
1t has ceased TO dutter and beat,
And it viii never beat again"
