Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1883-08-03
In M eniOriain.

Departed to everlasting heavenly rest, on
Saturday, July 21st, 1888, at Q O'clock, p.
NJ, at the residence OF her parents, Miss
EMILY j. DAY, second daughter of Geo. w.
and Mary +. Day, in the 18th year of her
age.
AT an early age Emily gave her heart to
God and devoted her life TO His service, ever
maintaining pious walk and godly con
versaton. Intelligent, modest and unas
summing in manner, she won the esteem and
atfectionatc regard of all who knew her.
A brief and truthful estimate of our dear
departed sister may thus be given As u
daughter, affectionate and obedient; as a
friend, steadtast, obiging and reliable; as
Il neighbor, all that could be desired; as a
sister, kind, tender, true and loving. She
was almost idolized by her brothers and sis
tiers, who looked upon her with an affection
ate faith and trust. Not long before she
died she babe each one good-by, and raised
her head to meet them with farewell kiss.
And thus has another one of the fairest,
purest and brightest flowers that adorned
our Masters terrestrial garden been plucked
by the icy finger OF the great reaper, Death
TO be transplanted with Saviour's loving
and tender care in purer, holier and hap
pier cline, 10 be watered by the stream of
fountain of infinite mercy and love, and
where the once crucifed Redeemer of sin
full world lives and reigns forever in the
realms of eternal bliss. There was Joy among
the angels singing around the throne Rood
when upon immaculate wings of His holy
messengers Of peace our dear sister, Emily,
was borne through the pearly gates of the
New Jerusalem To the palace of the King,
as a meet companion for the redeemed ones
made perfect in the blood Of the Lamb.
Weep not for her, ye stricken 0nes--father,
mother. sisters. brothers, friends-she is not
dead, but sleepeth. Let us all endeavor, by
Gods grace, To emulate her example, to lead
the pure and spotless life she led, to walk
the straight and narrow path wherein our
departed one was wont to walk, and in the
sweet by and by" she will be one of the
| white-robed shining ones, waiting and
watching for us when we shall reach the
portals Of the "bcautiiui gate" and hand in
hand We shall walk the streets Of the celes-
tial city.
She was faithful and consistent member
Of the Catholic church, and received, a few
| hours before her death, the last sacraments
OF the Holy Church, and that the loving
Saviour who has In his wisdom and good
ness called her home, will comfort and sus-
tain her heart crushed and disconsolate
mother is the heartfelt prayer Of one who
loved her very much.
| Dearest loved and cherished sister,
How oft our memories roam
To the day OF happy childhood
Passed in our dear old home.
Oh, pray for Us who mourn for thee,
And lead our thoughts above,
To that world Of pure delight,
OF innocence and love.
Home is sad, Oh God, how dreary,
Lonely, lonesome, every spot;
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary. for we hear 1t not.
All Is dark within in our dwelling,
Lonely is our home to-day,
For the one we loved SO fondly
Has forever passed away.
Farewell. dear daughter. you are AT rest,
And shall forever be;
You could not stay on earth with ",
But we can come tO thee
Weeppa dear parents, ior your daughter,
She has only gone before,
o, be prepared and meet her there,
She will welcome you at the door.
Weep not, dear brothers and sisters, she Il
gone
To her bright home on high,
Oh, II we love and trust our God
We will meet her by-and.by.
Oh, we shall meet, yes meet again,
When free from sorrow, grief and pain,
Beyond the river on the shore,
We will meet where parting is no more.
| By FRIEND.
