B spaulding st Lockport N. Y, Nov. Sd, 1881. > 4
 Her life was gay, brilliant and dramatic. In early infantry her father was taken sud. denly away. Through the care and aid of her parents she was kept in regular attendance at school, where she rapidly advanced. always standing high in her classes. Her fine nat ural gifts thus developed, secured for her at an early age nice education. The natural bent of her mind was to language, poetry and music, the last ofwhich was her greatest gift. In this she took the utmost delight, spending her spare moments at the instrument, play ing and singing, where she will be best re- membered by her friends, and they will eyer recall her sweet voice and touching strains with fearful eyes, and speak her name with trembling lips SO long as memory endures. ->.
 She was merry, mirthful girl, whose kind, pleasant and agreeable ways endeared her to schoolmates and playmates, who will cherish her memory with tender and lasting respect She was truthful and reliable friend, faith. full student, loving sister, 8 devoted wife, and an obedient daughter. Her gay, spright
 ly nature, pleasing address and joviAls tem. perament, made her many friends and an es. pecial favorite in the various communities in which she lived. They will always reflect upon her early death with thrill of sadness. Mindful of others and forgetful of herself, she counselled peace and friendship every where. She was of sweet. foFgiving dispo- sition, never forgetting friend or averaging a foe. But she is gone. "The good die yoangs" Death reached out his ghastly hand and plucked the budding blossom of her life. She was admired for her peaceful and obeli. ent nature. If she erred, twas on. virtues side. If she ever made a mistake it wes through the consultation and advice of others
 She led life worthy of imitation, but it is ended To the beautiful cemetery at Akron the long procession wended its way, when the last sad rites of the dead were performed
 and the young, the beautiful, the good, wal laid away forever, X.
