inst, Mrs. MARIA A. BEATTY The widow
of Edward Beatty. Mrs. Beatty was a daughter
OF Gen. .. Ii Williams, and a sister of Mrs

Her usband, the son of Eli Beatty, ESQ, long
time Cashier of the Hagerstown Bunk, went
into the Confederate Army as private, al
though well advanced in life, and was killed
in battle in the Valley of Virginia.
For many years Mrs. Beatty has carried a
bruised heart. yet she carried it with humility
and great courage. She suffered much but
was strong through it all. During all her
married life she lived in the midst of sorrow,
sickness and death.
The mother of eight children, only one sur
wives her. Years ago tour of them died OF
cholera in Washington County-thfee ofwhom
lay dead in the house at one time; two Others
were taken hurrie6ly away by consumption !;
and her only surviving son-after the death
of his father-sickened and died in a dreary
hospital, prisoner of war, on Lake Erie, be-
yond the care and reach of his friends, and
amidst the snow and ice and terrors Of John
sons Island.
Has she not dweltin the Valley of the Shad-
ow of Death Such trials and woes us hers
are past computation or the sympathy of
words Surely if suffering works out puri6-
cation, she has fairly earned an eternal glory,
and the crown prepared for her is bright be-
yond our imagining.
Naturally cheerful and hopeful, vet chasen-
ed by grief, Mrs. Beatty was of no complain
ing mood. She gave no tongue TO her sor-
rows. And now that they are ended and she
has gone ''to where, beyond these voices, there
is peace, ii must be a relief for those who
loved her to know that her weary body and
over-laden heart are at rest now and forever
