Obituary..

Again have we laid away to rest all that was NOR
tai of Emily S. Reid. wife of Isaac M. Reid She
was born at Palmyra, New York, Oct 7tk, 1881, and
died Feb l2th 1884, aged 81 years, months and 5
days; was married at Viena, Michigan, to Isaac M.
Reid September 22d 1850, and made their home ut
Toledo Ohio, for number Of years, and in 1872
moved from Toledo to Florida. Ohio and lived there
till she departed this life. nto these parents
born one daughter and one son who now mourn the
loss of q fond mother. About 12 years ago she
united with the NJ. E. Church probation, but nev-
er had the privilege to be taken into full
with that church they had moved from that place
to another place, and since that time had mot con-
nected herself to any branch of the church, but
Gently this sister not being satisfied in regard to bap
tsm, desired to be baptised again by pouring. This
was attended to on December 9th, l8S3-also par
took of the sacrament of the Lords supper and
united with the United Brethren Church ut Florida,
Ohio. Her sphere Of duty for years was in the
home. Inheriting predispositiou to disease, she
was afflicted for some years, and on that account
untitled for hard work Her christian character and
life were above reproach She suffered long, but
with almost more than human patience, calmly and
quietly the Of her life went down. and with her
the battle of life was over and to her had the
eternal Sabbath. The bereaved husband and two
Children BROTHER sist mother aud many other rel
atives and friends with us still and deserve the
sympathy and prayers Of the church. The family
and home have been wrecked and broken, but may
be rebuilt in heaven. Our holy christianity brings
severed together in the better country and in-
vest human nature with grander life than 1t can
possibly have here and all the bereaved ones can
do is to wait and trust. few evenings before this
sister took her departure to another world, she said
to those around her dying bed side that she was al
most to heaven. We trust the community will heed
the funerel text delivered by H. 5 McNutt, pastor
in charge this OCCASION from the 14th chapter OF
Job aud 10th verse. "But man dieth and wasteth
away; yea, man giveth up the ghost and where Ia
the is hard to part with friends here, Of those
whom we love and have been permitted to pass days
and years Of happiness together, but We have the
prospect of meeting them again II we heed the text
delivered on the occasion. The funeral took place
at the United Brethren church at Florida, of which
church this sister was member and her body was
conveyed to the cemetery In the village of Florida
there to remain until the resurrection morning, but
her spirit has gone join her classmates In that bet
ter land, and sings the songs of the redeemed,
and is safely housed where the storms Of life cannot
reach her, and where the infrmities of old age will
no longer burden her. May the great head Of the
church sustain and preserve unto everlasting life the
husband and two children.
4 few more years will pass away,
Then we shall meet again;
Twill be ut home, In Chrst's absde--
Wen ever there remain.
