and the shock of her husbands and
sisters sudden death. two days apart,
and the loss and loneliness that followed
was moe than her enfeebled system
could bear. Bravely she tried to adar.
herself to the inevitable change, ,appreci-
atiDg all the kindness and sympathy
extended her, and was anxious not to
trouble her friends with her misfor-
tunes. But her husband had been
strong man. good, tender, helpful--in
every way adapted to be trusted and de-
pended upon. To lose him after u
companionship of almost half century,
hopelessly MANNED her life, and robbed
It of all that seemed desirable.
She trusted God and was not without
every present help in trouble" but
husband, child, aud most of her kindred
were in the better world, and her heart
was there. One month she employed
herself arranging her husbands un-
plans. When the day Of the
month OH which he died again occurred
she was seriously i'll, and it was impos-
sible to inspire her with hope or de-
sire to recover. Anxious only to do
right with her great responsibilities,
and to be prepared for can abundant
entrance" into the kingdom, she
promptly adjusted her temporal affairs,
then rested peacefully in the everlast-
ing arms. With eloquent prayer and
expressions of praise continually upon
her lips, and tenderly considerate Of all
who in any way ministered to her. she
continued to recognized her friends un-
til within few hours Of her departure,
and on the same day of the week and
in the same hour of the night, six
weeks later than her husband, che too
fell into the sleep from which she
awoke to see the King in his beauty
and the land that is afar off.

Obituary.

Died, in Washington, Grundy Co.,
Mo-, April IA, 1879, Mr.. Daniel Smith,
of paralysis, in the eighty-flrst year of
his age. He was born in Sandisfield,
Berkshire Co., Mass, Feb. ~, 1910.
In the spring of 1921, he came to
Wellington, Ohio, and settled upon the
farm now owned by Isaac Comstock, in
the west part of the township. Al
though he suffered many hardships and
privations which a:e always incident
to life in new settlement, he was
soon rewarded for his industry and per-
severance by being the possessor of we'll
cultivated fields in place of the unbrok-
en- forests. In 1897, he was united in
marriage to Miss Marie Humphrey. a
lady Of rare Christian character. Who
proved herself a help-meet indeed, in
his struggle for competency. Four
children were born to them, one died
in infancy; the remaining three, one
son and two daughters, are living and
reside in Grundy Co., Missouri. Sep.
a, ls46, his wife died. About two

by whom he had two children, both
daughters, who reside in Kansas. In ga
he disposed of his farm and removed to
Missouri to spend his remaining days
with his children.
In politics Mr.. Smith was first whig,
then a free-soilrr, and afterwards a
Republican. He was strong anti-slav-
cry man and many fugitive slave was
sheltered and fed by him and sent on
their road to freedom under cover Of
darkness. Early in life he em braced
Christianity and united with the Cong.
Church, of which he remained a consis-
tent member until his death. A short
time previous to his death, he remarked
to his son Gilbert that he felt as though
his work was finished here, and that
he was patiently awaiting his Mas
ter's call. Surely such q faith as this
that can enable man to wait calmly
and trustfully for the coming of his
Saviour Is to be coveted.
