months after the decease Of her brother
Clarence, then like him, peacefully passee
from time toa blessed eternity. Hers was 9
short, but a beautiful life, because she waf
possessed of meek and quiet spirit, which
we read is in the sight Of the Lord of great
price. Her remains were followed by a sor-
rowing community through the rain to the
brick church in Harrison township, where
the Rev. Spreng, Of Napoleon, conducted the
funeral services without any embarrassment
since she was and is the child of the great
king. A model christian, a perfect lady, and
one whom Heaven gladly owns.
