 MRS. LILLE G. HAWKINS. The death of this estimable lady, announced in yes terday's Reporter, merits more than a passing notice. Her early life was spent in Stafford, Conn.,, as one of large family of brothers and sisters, most of whom, with her parets, still Survive. About one year ago, she began to fail in health, and in spite of the efforts of skilled physicians to arrest the progress of her disease, it be- came evident few months since that her earthly life would be short. She came te this town with her husband as youthful bride some twelve years ago. In October, 1880, she united with the Baptist church, and was an active member of. the Woman's Christian Temperance Union from the date of it's organization. Seldom has the grim messenger gathered sheaf in whom the christian virtues were more perfectly de- yeloped. She possessed genial disposi- tion, and responded quickly to all appeals for charity, or to any cause that needed her aid and support But human affection cannot bring her back. We can only say that she has gone. Her faith in the i'm mortal life was unusually clear and strong For weeks and months past she spoke free ly of the change that awaited her, and left messages of love to all her friends. Two children have already passed on before her, and daughter, some eleven years of age, alone remains. To her and to the be- reayed husband we extend our sympathy, with the cherished desire that rainbow of hope will soon dawn upon their clouded skies. ~
