Mrs. Adelia Elizabeth CassOn.

Scarcely less profound was the
sensation created in this community
by the announcement ofFthe death
of that most estimable christian
lady named above from the fact of
its having been so near. For days,
weeks and months she had Ian
guished in suffering and atiiiction,
to which at last relief came. That
she was prepared to meet that sum-
mons, considered so dreadful, there
is abundant evidence. She was
one of the "pure in heart" Of whom
the promise is" They shall see
God" Mrs. Casson was probably
the best known lady of this com
munity. Here her long and useful
life was passed; here she shed
around the radiance of those rare
social and christian virtues that
beautified and adorned her whole
life, and here where she was best
known was Sue most loved, here
will her memory be revered and
cherished by all classes, for her
love and charity extended to ALL
Here her exalted and noble charac-
ter will continue to shed a halo on
all around and prove an example
prominently worthy of imitation, a
mere allusion to which is all we can
give in this article; ADLER pens will
contribute to the portrayal of her
useful life, her exalted character,
her christian virtues and her many
deeds OF gentle charity. 1t is
OH privilege to extend to that ven
cradle chief mourner and others of
her immediate family the homage
of the hearts deepest sympathy.
May their sad grief at parting be
but a prelude to those bright and
enduring joys that await them in
the long hereafter.

to worship, and from which she will
