DIED.-May 2Sth, at 4 o'clock A.
NJ, after a long and serious illness,
Mrs. j. c. White, wife of Albert
White, aged 40 years.
Hers was suffering, such as rarely
falls to the lot of mortals, and yet,
she bore it with Christian fortitude
and resignation. She was a true and
faithful wife, and as kind and loving
mother as ever lived, and her name
will ever be precious to husband and
children and we trust her words OF
advice will ever remain fresh in the
memory of her children, and that they
will take heed thereto, and finally
meet her in that land where there is
no sorrowing. The friends of the
family who kindly offered their time
ly services, in the hour of bereave-
ment, may be assured that their
thoughtfulness was duly appreciated
by the father and children. Mrs.
Cummings, sister of the deceased,
has been with the family for the past
few weeks ; she has, almost, filed the
place of mother to the %sorrowing
family.
