MIRANDA ELLIS COMFY

I MIRANDA Ellis NN.fhl-A ~
Daughter of Capt Jacob Conklyn, of Urbana,
Ohio, formerly OF this County,
Born Noy 9. 1857 Died December s, 1875.
In the shadow of death there came no fears;
In the shadow of death at eighteen years.
For angels lowered near that couch OF death;
/ whispered sweet words and soothcd her parting
breath
| Look M, o stricken one! NJ Christian dies
/ Uuheedcd by the Saviuur's plying eyes.
/ Fear not the troubled waves, the raging sea,
For naught can bear a breath of wrath TO thee.
Be not dismaved! The High and Holy One
/ Leads thee where death and shadows mover come.
| lie holds thee gently up by His right hand.
/ Till glory breaks forth from the tdr-oh land.
The night which now casts gloom upon the way,
Is followed by the light of endless day.
And those who gather round the great white
throne.
VIII welcome thy tired spirit to its home.
The sisters and the brother gone before,
stood waiting for her on the golden shore,
And Heaven shone forth upon those features fair,
A. these glad words were borne upon the air:
q. Yea. though walk thro the dark vale ofdeath,
I'M praise my Maker with nv latest breath.
My sou IS trusting in a Being pure;
Under His sceptsr am ali secure
Her d,v is done! Severed The silver strand
That Life had woven with tender hand.
Her gentle words and works, her acts sublime,
Are buried in the sepulchre of time.
Her day is done! She lay her burden down.
AID passed beyond to wear Heavenly crown,
Aud loving friends will hold her memory dear,
Aud on her grave will idli the silent tear
A PRAYER for those who sadly meet around
The haarthst,ue where a vacant chair Is found
And sigh tor tidjugs from the liJtle band
