Seldom have we been called to chronicle
an event which has cast deeper shade or
more melancholy feelings over household
than the sudden death of Mrs. William r.
Blossoms, which occurred at her residence
in this village. While walking IN her gar
den on the morning OF June 9th she was
suddenly stricken down with paralysis, and
In an unconscious condition was carried
to her room, where she remained perfectly
unconscious till within about one half hour
before she breatbed her last, when con.
seriousness returned. Though not able to
speak, she waved final adieu to her
friends. Her sister, Mrs. Wright, was the
first Ole to get to her after she fell to the
ground, and then only in time to hear her
last words which could be audibly under

of evening drew its curtain over the earth,
her gentle spirit took its flight on the even

her exemplary life was beyond question,
being possessed with rich, strong and
happy religious faith. TO her, death had
no terrors she looked forward to it
through many long years of feeble health
as summons to her Fathers home and to
the influence of her example may be at
tributed the happy thoughts of her be-
resved husband and children to death and
the life beyond.
Her funeral was attended at the Congre-
gational church on Saturday, June 80, and
"a very impressive and instructive sermon
was delivered by the Rev. 7. s. Hubbard,
from john 5 25:
Verify, verify say unto you. The hour is
coming and now Is, when the dead all hear
the voice OF the Sou OF God, ana they that bear
shall live.
We have often heard the reverend gen.
tleman preach. but never on any occasion
do we remember of seeing him apparently
possessed with more energy and stronger
power of thought and forcible argument
than on this occasion. By scriptural
proof and uncontrovertible logic the Di-
vinity of Christ with God was fully
substantiated; and moreover that Christ
will grant full equivalent in mercies be-
slowed for all the tears shed, and trials and
sfll ctions his children are called to pass
through here on earth. The husband has
the sympathy of the entire community.
