IN AEMonlAM-LUCx CLARK ANDERSON.
The biographer OF one who has filed high pub
lie stations in the world has no lack of Interest,"
ing incidents or dramatic situations to embellish
his laie. But who can rightly portray the char
acter Of one whose whole lite has been passed
in the line of simple domestic duty. And yet
the life OF her OF whom l now write, was 80
wholly rounded up with simple homely duties
so uniailingly and perfectly performed, ant her
death scene an illustration OF the satisfaction
and the wisdom and glory of such q life that it
more than u passing notice. Not that We
can add anything to the weight Of the glory OF
her reward, but that by the beauty Of her exam
pie We may be attracted, and by the triumph Of
her death We may be persuaded to follow after.
Lucy Clark Anderson was born in Lynchburg,
county, Virginia, on tho 25th Of Au-
gust, 1873; was married TO Mr.. VIM. Ander-
son December 18th, 1884; moved with her hus-
oand to this city in 1886. wheie she resided until
her death, August 3lst, 1881. She was q faithful
and devoted wife and mother, q kind and earnest
friend, and . consistent christian woman. She
died in the full assurance Of faith and in the
complete triumph OF her religion.
What can there be added more than this? There
have been heroines and poetesses, and queens

man this. There have been leaders Of fashion.
