NEAR FRIEND.
LEWIS-Died, at her home near Sabula,
Thursday, January 10Th, 1885, at 20 p. NJ.
h,
years, 10 months. 10 days.
Was a member of the Methodist Church,
of which she was an untiring worker. She
was dearly loved by us all and will be sadly
missed. She still lives in the hearts of those
who knew her worth and it is one of the
sweet anticipations of the writer that heaven
will one day give back to her dear husband
his Mary. She leaves husband, child and
host of relatives and friends, to which we
extend our heartfelt sympathy. Look up,
dear husband, our lights above, for
Some other world is glad to see
Our light that's gone away;
The light whose going makes our night,
Makes somewhere else day.
The feet that cease their walking here,
Grown weary of earth's road.
With tireless strength 20 travelling
The pathway up to God.
The hands, whose patient fingers now
Have laid earth's labors by,
With loving skill have taken up
Some higher ministry.
The eyes, that give no longer back
The tender look of love,
Now with deathless CLEAN drink in
Gods beauteous world above.
The lips, whose sweet tones made us ask
If angels Sweeter sung,
Though silent here make heaven glad
With their glorious tongue.
And though her body lies asleep,
Our favorite is not dead;
She rises from dark deaths bright birth
With joy upon her head.
And though We cannot clasp her hand,
Nor look upon her face,
Nor listen to her voice again,
Nor watch her ways of grace,
Still we can keep her memory bright,
And walk the way she trod,
And know she waits until we come
Up to the house of God.
Let us be thankful through our tears,
That she was ours this long,
And try to lift our tones Of grief
To accord with her heavenly song.
A FRIEND.
