And flew 81 the arms Of God.

And one more angel in Gods happy throne.

beloved wife If George i. Greenfield, in the
10Th year Of her age.
Death with it, icy hands has grasped the
heart of one If our most beloved friends and
thrown u pail Of darkness over us which
will not soon be cast off She has ended
her earthly career, but still lives in that
land where darkness and sickness are I'M
known. Could the prayers of anxious and
devoted friends and the efforts of a faithful
physician have availed, the sad duty now
devolving upon Us would have been spared
u.s. But God knows best and has seen fit
in His providence to take her from Us. She
was kind and loving friend, a hospitable
neighbor, affectionate wife and a true and
tender mother. She was IA contdant of all
who knew her. NJ one solicited her aid
and advice who did not receive it. She was
a devoted member of the Roman Catholic
church, and fortified by the last sacraments,
peacefully entered the phantom bark which
bore her along swiftly by the tide of death
10 everlasting happiness which was her true
reward Her remains were Inferred in the
graveyard of old -. JoSeph's amidst large
concnurse of friends and relatives, who
gathered around To pay the last tribute of
respect due their gentle friend.
Beneath the silent shade,
In the narrow caSket bed,
They have placed our much loved friend
With the calm and peaceful dead.
Friend and love have done their hest,
And now can We do more:
Her gentle spirit has passed away,
Her Suflcring> are all DER.
Swectly rest, thy journeys ended.
Sw"otly resi-. thy toll Ger.
Naught of sorrow now can reach thee,
Nor earthly care aSsail thee more.

This life OF mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal We call death" @SA
