IN MEMORY OF

MRS BRIDGET QUINN,
who died on Sunday, December 18th. 1885, aged
SO years.
Although the years allotted to man were hers
and her death might have been expected at al
most any time. still was IL shock to her many
friends to hear of her death before many had
heard of her sickness, already under the shadow
of the wings of Azrael. She performed all her
duties to the last in every walk of liie-the moth
err grandmother. aunt and FRIENDSHIP left moth
ing undone that affection, fidelity and zeal could
do in comprising all that her exalted sense of duty
demanded to be done. Although gone her
bright example remains behind. Although lost
to sight her memory remains green in our hearts,
All who knew her loved her. for her goodness
was the natural emanation of a truly Christian
spirit, which ever sought'grace at the foot of the
throne. Rev. Father Fowler said mass for her
and the prayer of the congregation was offered
for the repose of her soul. The heartfelt sympa-
thy of all went out to the entire family as they
followed out of the church the coffin which con-
tanned all the earthly remains of their dearly
loved mother. The fearful eyes and quivering
lips showed the mighty struggle to compose their
feelings and become reconcied to the will of God.
1t is one of the greatest Affections. for who can
realize the painful truth? We can have but one
mother The mothers place can not be filed
When once vacant it must remain vacant on
earth forever. Grief is sacred grief for mothers
death the most sacred of all. The deceased lived
good life. We hope she has already received
her eternal reward. We also hope her many
friends will remember her in their prayers. that
God may grant her everlasting peace.
