Mrs. Harriet Craig, wife of Mr.. j. f. Craig
died at the home of her father, J. M. Gid
dens, Esq, near this place, on Friday, last
Thus was laid away the form OF daughter
devoted mother and friend deeply cher
iShed, whose quiet virtues and Christian
grace, endeared her to all who knew her.

the breeze that fingers for time around a
bed of withered roses and then dies as II

80 white-robed peace, thy gentle cross
Gave to her trusting heart no pain,

With tender and celestial ray,
Beaming like some pure star from Heaven,
To guide us on our earthly way"
