UNIONTOWN.

On Wednesday the llth inst. the Death
Angel raped on the easement of happy
home, and Miss Anna Walker folded her
white hands and went trustingly away
into the dim hereafter. In that home
there are sad hearts, and in the commu-
nifty where she lived, and in the temple
where she worshipped, there are tears
and lamentations, for life pure, and
good, and true, and gentle, is ended, a
familiar form has passed away from
sight, and places that knew her now
shall know her no more on earth forever,
She had that quiet grace that makes life
blessed. Like the violets of the wayside,
her life was unassuming, but the fra
GRANGE of kind words and helpful acts, of
Christian and daily duties well perform
ed, will float around her memory for
years to come. A costly casket was
provided, the purest richest robe en-
shrouded her form, around her in the
casket were beautiful flowers, and in her
hand snow-white calla lily. Kind hearts
and hands Wed with each other in their
tributes of loving regards. Rev. VIM. F.
Johnson, her pastor, conducted the serv-
ice, assisted by Rev. Geo. 5. Hackett, of
the Presbyterian Church. The choir of
the Uniontown Church, led by Mr.. Jas.
Taylor, conducted the singing. Opening

of Flushing, furnished the casket, and

Miss Matte Brokaw. The assemblage at
the home was very large, and many
friends composed the funeral train which
followed to the interment at the Union
Cemetery. There at the grave they bade
farewell to the form and name of Anna
Walker. The grave looked cold and
damp, and cheerless, but she had already
passed to the other side, illuminated by
the glory Celestial, and had received her
new name" of which we know not now,
but we may know hereafter But even

sacred to many friends. for

Shall rise at last, and bid the young flowers bloom
