Todd, February 4. 1891, to whom she Yas faithful, loving wife until death dissolved the boads divinely formed.
 She professad religion in 1878. and i'm medateiy united with the Baptist church.
 Her life as a Christian was grand. It was as a light in darkness. Her religion was her support in trouble which eyer bore her up amid her sorrows and trials. Mrs. Todd was a good woman, kind to her neighbors, indulsent and proyident in her family.
 She lived wisely, dieds well, and has passed away from her earthly troubles to her heavenly rest and reward. Her dying testimony portends her reign with Him who never errs in His dealings with the children of men. May her surviving friends and kindred kiss the rod with which they are smitien, recognizing the hand of God in this disrensation of Provi- dence directing all things for good to them that love the Lord.
