DIED, on April It'll, 1885, Mrs. CLARIssA
A. TRUNDLE, in the 74th year Of her age
Again the dreaded messenger of Death
has visited earth to call away this most es-
Unable lady. She had been in bad health
of late years. but she bore her sufferiugs
with that iortitude which becomes chris.
tian. In her earlier years she had become
n member Of the Baptist church, and in that
field always appeared as some heavenly
angel sent TO scatter rays Of sunshine in the
hearts OF the weary and oppressed. In the
homes of sickness she was always rs some
mighty physician sent from on high to heal
the sick. As II friend she was always true,
trlstlul and ever confiding. AS mother
indulgent, gentle and loving with that love
that is everlasting "But alas how uncer-
tain is life" for it is most certainly true that
in the midst of life we are in death. But
God saw fit in his all-wise providence to
call this most estimable one from her trials,
troubles and earthly cares to "that rest
which remaneth for the children Of God, !"
for blessed are they that die in the Lord
for they shall inherit the Kingdom of
Heaven" Oh how sad it is to part from
one so dear but His methods are inscruta-
Bile. lie moves in Il mysterious way with
his sickle keen, He reaps not only the
bearded grain, but the flowers that grow be-
tween. Gently, quietly, comedy rs she had
lived, so this beloved one passed away. by
her death relatives and friends lose an amia-
Bile and beloved companion, and society an
edifying and accomplished ornament, but
our loss is her eternal gain.
Such is the christians parting hour,
So peacefully she sinks TO rest;
When faith, endued from heaven with power,
Sustains and cheers her languid breast.
Mark but that radiance of her eye,
That smile upon her wasted cheek;
They tell us Of her glory nigh,
In language that no tongue can speak.
A beam from heaven is sent to cheer
The pilgrim on her gloomy road,
And angels are attending near
To bear her TO their bright abode.
Who would not wish to die like those
Whom Gods own spirit deigns to bless,
To sink into that soft repose,
Then wake Ia perfect happiness

citizen Of Georgetown, ID. G.

absence of kind hearted and indulgeni hus.
band and. father. This man, like unto all
of us, had his faults, but for kindness Of
heart, rectitude Of principle, aud honesty of
intention, he stood unimpeached by those
among whom his daily lot was cast.
He was an honest man and true and this
is noble example and goodly heritage TO
leave his only son, and VIC trust that amid
the temptations Of coming life, it may prove
his shield and buckler.
Sleep on in your qniet repose in the little
cemetery at Unity, but old friends, those
who sailed with you over the charming,
though giddy seas of youth, will pause ever
and anon to think of You kindly and mingle
an occasional tear with the falling blossoms
OF spring that alight upon your tomb.
DR. Maynard preached his funeral sermon,
and Rev. Mr.. Laird, of the Protestant Epis-
copal church, assisted in the last sad rites at
the grave.
AN OLD FRIEND.
