OBITUARY


On last Saturday at five o'clock it was our
painful duty to behold the death Of \ kind
and afectionate wife, dear and loving moth
err. She was one Of those noble women that
we sometimes meet In this wOrld--a mother
to every body. She always had kind word
for all she met, and was always ready to Sac
rifce he own comforts Tor the happiness Of
others. After q brief illness OF but few
days, God saw dit to take her from this world
Of sorrow to one that she had prepared her
self for by her everyday life. As stood by
the bed Of this dear mother in her last hour,
with all its stihed griefs, its noiseless attend
ants, the last testimonies Of expiring love,
the feeble, fsltering, thrilling. oh how thrill
ing, pressure of the hand, the last fond look
OF the glazing eyes turning upon us even
from the Threshold of existence. the faint.
faltering accents struggling in death to give
one more assurance of-sffection, 1t was then
that thought the death Of that dear mother
was warning voice from eternity that We
might prepare ourselves while In health for
that coming hour.
This estimable lady was Mrs. J. II. Sturns,
wife Of DR. Sturns
