1t is terrible to realize that the
above is true. Taken so suddenly her
death seems more like some horrible
dream than the sorrowful reality-the
awful certainty it is. Colista was
taken sick Wednesday, Jan. q; med
ical aid was called Immediately but
without avail; she grew worse and
died Sunday evening, Feb. 8. She
was a devoted and afectionate
daughter and sister, and faithful
friend. BY her death our schools lose
one of its most conscientious and
faithful teachers. Quiet and unassum-
ing, bard student. and deep thinker,
she lived and labored quietly and
steadily winning and retaining the
honor, respect, esteem and friendship
Of all who knew her. She began
teaching in November, 1874. teaching
her first term at Marienville, since
when she has been teaching almost
uninterruptedly up to the time of her
death with the exception Of single
term all her teaching has been done in
Forest Co. She began her last term,
teaching at Neilltown on Dec. 15;
after teaching a week she took vaca.

at home; not feeling we'll she was
urged to give up teaching for awhile,
but thinking her strength greater than
it was she returned to school, she had
taught only short time after recon-

school and call medical assistance !;
getting better she began again and

BEEMAN. In Tionesta, Pa, on Satur-
aged II years, lacking one day.
In our last issue we mentioned the
serious illness of this young man, and
said there was little hope of his recov-
cry. He passed away very peacefully
between one and two o'clock in the
afternoon, having been sick but a
little over two weeks. And thus it is
that Death has taken off another of
our young men in the bloom of health
and happiness. Warren bore the
respect of all his acquaintances, es-
pecially his every day companions,
who knew him best. He was always
quiet, unassuming, and never bois-
trous, and for these excellent traits of
character he won the high esteem of
all into whose society he was thrown.
He had no bad habits whatever, and
bid fair to become a model and useful
man. He loved his parents, and
showed that love by disposition to
obey and never incur their displeasure.
Although too weak and exhausted to
speak before his death he stretched
forth his hand and bid all around
farewell. Warren was the SOD Of Mrs.
j, r. Chadwick by her former hus,
band, who died in the army. The
funeral services, which took place on
Monday afternoon, were cond ucted by
Rev. A. o. Stone, and the remains
were laid to rest in the M, L. Gene.
terry, by the side Of three other smaller
children of the parents. The remains
were followed to the grave by an i'm
menss cOncourse Of sympathizing
friends. And thus were the last sad rites
performed over the remains ofone who
was loved and esteemed by all who
knew him. The soFrowiug and be-
reaved parents should in measure
console themselves with the assurance
