OBITUARY.

STRAUss.--1n Centre township on the 4th
months and day.
On last Saturday the community was startled
by the sad and no less unexpected intelligence
Of this death. Occupying the social position
she did, many felt that they had lost near and
dear friend, a kind neigbbor and an enterprising
citizen. Being woman of considerable intel,
igence and commanding in appearance, she
wls n leading spirit in society. And if others
did not always feel, see and think as she did,
perhaps it was as is usually the case, because
she lived in advance of her age.
She was a member of the Reformed Church,
at IIidey, whore her presence, liberal support
and voice in the song of praise, will be greatly
missed. AS a christian woman she was devot
ed to her God and the church of her beloved
Rcdpemer. When able to he ont, she attended
divine services regularly and solicited the at
tendance of others, delighted in the study of
the Bible, and regularly read her church paper
of which she was passionately fond and the
contents of which she was very free TO commu-
nicae to others.
But when we visit her home, we see some
thing of true wife. What did she not do to
make that home pleasant and attractive? Her
pleasant countenauce her musical voice and
dlligent bands, all conspire TO make that home
a paradise. She furnished her home with the
choicest literature, ornamented her walls with
the finest specimens of her workmanship, pre-
pared the most savory meals, and seasoned all
with her smiles cheerful conversation and sa-
cred melodies. Nor was she selfish in the
least with little paradise. The wanderer found
shelter under her roof, the hungry food at her
liable, and her friends a warm welcome at her
home. Yes, our ass,ciati ms with that home
vii not soon be forgotten.
| On the Sabbath previous to her death, she
was pros,raiel tn severe attack OF sickness
and rem.inei in an almost motionless condition
till her death. During this brief period, she
was conscious till almost the last. She felt that
she was fast approaching her end and that
her peace was fully made in Christ with her
| God. And AZ her natural senses weakened, her
| spritnal senses strengthened. Before her eyes
were fully closed to earth, she saw heavenly
visions; and before her ears were deaf to earth,
| she heard the call from the spirit worli and
the iausic of heaven. Her funeral, which took
place on Tuesday was larglely attended and
was was Impressed by her pastor with discourse
hased on Romans xiv:S. Great sympathy and
grief were manifested, not only by the imme
diate friends and neighhors but also by mum
her of poor people whom she had b trlcnded
in the time of their greatest need. Brother
Strauss has lost his best earthly friend a't
companion, the church va able member ah'
,hs community kind neighbor May her man
,le fall on others, while we for comfort turn t,
Him who only has the words of eterna! life
