OBITUARY.

DIED October 9Th, 1884, at the residence
OF her husbands father in the village Of
Wellington, Mrs. Jennie Horr, nee Sawyer
wife Of r. 9. Horr
The subject of this sketch was born in
Lyme township, Huron Co., o., Dec. 10th,
1909, and hence was in her 25th year at the
time OF her decease. During her child
hood she attended the public schools of
Huron. county, completing her education
at oberlin college. At the latter place
she made the acquaintance of her husband
to whom she was engaged for several
years before their marriage The inter.
vening years were employed by Mr..
Horr in pursuing collegiate course at
Cornell University, and by Miss Sawyer
in visit to Europe; and in pursuing
such studies and acquiring such practical
knowledge as would ht her for the life
that lay before her. February 9Th, 1888,
at the house Of Mr.. Jas. Sawyer, the brides
uncle, in Lyme township, Huron county,
Ohio, surrounded by host Of friends and
relatives, they were united in marriage.
1t was festive occasion long to be remem.
bered. Everything seemed prophetic of
lasting happiness and prosperity. The
fair bride, so beautifully and appropriately
arrayed in dress of purest white,
trimmed with a wealth OF the richest
pearls; the fond bridegroom, showing by
every look that II was the proudest and
happiest day of his life; the festooned
room the rich floral display; the costly
presents; the solemn ceremony when the
two young people, standing beneath a
canopy of flowers, were united by the
beautiful Episcopal service In the holy
bands of wedlock; the warm congratula-
tions of friends; the sumptuous banquet
the friendly throwing ofslippers and rice at
the welded couple, and the hearty "God
speed" as they left the house; all came
thronging back to the memories of her
relatives and friends, as they looked for
the last time upon her coffined remains.
Just twenty months, to day, after her
marriage she died in her husbands arms.
''Then fell upon the house sudden gloom,
A shadow on those features fair and thin,
And softly from that hush d and darkend room
| Two angels Issued where but one came In"
Weeping blythe bedside Of the dying
wife and mother, were her husbands
family, her only sister, Mrs. Chapman
and her dear old Uncle jim, who after
her fathers death ten years ago, had
cared for her as kindly and tenderly as
though she had been his own daughter.
It is no exaggeration to say that Mrs
Jennie Horr's life, as ii appeared TO her
friends was a poem. We have known Of
but few young women of such grace Of
manner and character, with such happy
faculty of winning and keeping the aifec
tions Of all who knew her. Who can forget
her warm sympathy, her kind and affection
ate greetings, and her loving ways9 Int
every house she entered she brought 10,
and sunshine. She never lost friend
she never made an enemy, To husband
who has lost such wife no words of con
ISOLATION can be spoken, except to express
the hope that the infant daughter which
the dear wife has left behind her vii
prove to him great comfort and consola
tion, and that she may live to resemble
her mother in beauty and excellence o
character. IL.
