Miss Laura, daughter of Orlando and
Lottie Atwood, died in Shoreham on the
morning of July 1. This death seems to
need more than a passing notice. Miss
Laura was Is years old the 18th of De-
cember last, and was. an only daughter.
A brother died several years ago of the
same disease, Bright's; so for these
years that are past she was the sole COM
fort of her parents hearts and home.
She was bright beyond her years, a fine
scholar, leader in her classes at school,
and general fayorite with old and
young. She was an active member of
the Congregational church, for early in
her life she had found that hope of a
safe and blissful future in the great be-
yond which sustained and comforted her
in her long and painful illness and help
ed her to bear with patience her great
sufierngs. When she knew there was
no hope of recovery she longed for the
end to come. Neighbors and friends
were unremitting IN their care and kind
ness, especially her mates, making many
presents that told of their love for her,
filling her room with flowers. of which
she was passionately fond: and, remem-
bering this, she was constantly remem-
bered during her illness, and at her bur-
ial they were brought in lavish abun-
dance. Her pastor, Mr.. Norton. gave a
most excellent discourse. Thus has gone
from us another of the loved ones her
mission filled on earth, she has left her
sorrowing friends here to enter into that
new life where she will know no sorrow
or pain. While her parents are left
alone in the decline of their years, let
this be a comfort, that they have some
thing to strive for, so to live that very
soon, for the years go by swiftly, they
can go to their dear ones, never more to
be bereft, where home circles will be I'M
broken, where all will be peace, and sin
and death and sad partings are unknown
and have no part.
"There Is no death what seems SO is tran
sition;
This life OF mortal breath
Is but a suburb OF the lite ely sian,
Whose portals we call Death" X.
