A CARD.-Wew wish to extend our heart
felt thanks to our neighbors and friends
who so kindly assisted us during the
sickness and at the time of the death of
our son George. May they find friends
as tender and helpful when aff1iction
comes.-F. j. &c NJ. G. BENSON.
George, aged 10 years and months,
youngest son of F. J. and Marion Ben
son, died in Stowe, October IS, 1886,
after long and lingering illness. Those
who assisted in the care of Georgia
speak of his patience and thoughtfulness
as remarkable in one of his age. There
was large number of friends, relatives
and school-mates, both from the day and
Sunday school, of which George was a
member, present to assist in the last sad
ceremonies. Mr.. and Mrs. Benson have
the sincere sympathy of a wide circle of
friends. The floral offerings sent by
friends were so many that George
seemed literally "asleep among the
flowers" George was the baby, and
being naturally of bright and cheerful
disposition, was much loved by his broth
ers and parents and they will deeply
mourn his loss, but may the thought that
George is still in the hands of tender,
loving God, whose love is greater than
any human love, and that he, in the in
nocence and virtue of childhood, has
been taken from this world of tempta-
ton. trial and sorrow, to better and
brighter world of eternal summer and
beauty, comfort them in this great sor-
row.
