deeply loved wife and mother gentle
woman whom to know was to admire and
respect IN unobtrusively influential mcr,-
Der of society. and with more than is
mslal of cultivated refinement, Mrs. Mer-
will will be sadly missed and could be but
sily spared. The hea,tiest and warmest
sympathy of ali who knew her and know
them is all that can be rendered her
N,icken dear Ones.''
