In the summer of 1864, party of tourists,

difficulty to an elevated and snow covered

Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the bleak
ness and sterility of midwinter around and
above them. In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls, they crowded it over
the edge of the plateau In falling it struck

DIED.

Died. in North Lancaster, January l, 1873, Mrs
Hannah Fitzgerald, in the esth year other age.
Sister Fitzgerald may well be called an old
settler, having come to Grant county about
fifty wears ago was resident of the town of
Lancaster forty three years. She with her
husband experienced the quickening power of
divine grace % years ago under the labor of
Rev. Whitford of the NJ. +. Church, and uni-
ted with the first class formed at what is now
known as the Dyer school house, since which
| time she has endured all the trials of life as
seeing Him who is invisible and with a firm
| faith and love unchilled, has waited patiently
the coming of the Master. Twenty-three
years ago by the death of her husband she
was left with family of eight children all of
whom she has lived to see grown TO manhood
and womanhood. She now lies by the side of her
husband waiting the day when the archangle's
trumpet shall wake the sleeping nations. Then
those closed eyes shall see the King in his
beauty and that silent tongue shall break forth
with the song of redemption. May we all so
live that we can join in that song.

tiers, who was in reality pioneer, respected
and beloved by all who knew him. His son
0rris, whom friends are now called to mourn,
was born November 2,1sS0, on the old home
stead near Cassville. He like his father was
beloved by all who knew him and be will be
mourned and missed not only by relatives but
BY a greater number of true friends than most
men possess.
A little more than three years since, he wac
called upon to part with dearly loved wife,
one of the loyeliest of women. Since her
death he has continued to occupy the same
suite of rooms where they had passed many
happy hours together and where she breaihed
her last; in the same room, on the same bed,
after an illness of eleven days, his soul took its
flight. He was made aware of his approach>
ing dissolution few hours before his death,
and in calm manner he stated that he was not
afraid to die. He talked of his wife and OF
her death. Let US hope that the pleasure
which his wealth and friendship would have
insured him here are not worthy to be COM
pared, with the exquisite pleasure of meeting,
that dearly loved and still deeply mourned
companion on the other shore. One sister
and three brothers are all that are left of
that once numerous family, to mourn for this
amiable and deservedly loved brother.
sThroush the dark vale of the shadow of Death
He has crossed to the ether shore;
He has passed through the gloom where Jesus
once walked,
We will see him on earth no more.
But there is light for oil on the other side
Light for all that have gene before;
She was watching for him eyond the tide
Waiting for him, topGrt no more"
