En MemorIan1.
MRS. E. R. JEFFCOTT.


 The sudden death of this estimable lady is such as to inspire sentiments of deepest sor- row among those who knew her best as true Christian, whose simple and loving faith en- deared her to all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. In her home life she was the perfect mother, rearing her little ones in the nurture and Rdmonition of the Lord and ex- ercising over them the sacred influences which will surely be felt in the future life. A devoted wife, greatly loved and cherished by her husband, separated for season, the blow falls with crushing effect upon him, yet buoyed, up with the same faith that was precious to both, he bears the severe trial with that fortitude and trust which is the outcome of life resigned to the masters care. As one of the managers of the Ladies Social Union of Trinity M. E. church, Mrs Jeffcott was an earnest worker and her counsel and advice, often sought. None knew her but to offer praise for her con sistent life and the influence of her works will ever be held in loving remembrance.
