The funeral of Miss Abbie NJ. Reynolds VIII ose
death was announced last week occurre d Monday
at the residence of Hon. Homer Goodhue. She
became member of his family upon the death of
her parents, when she about 10 years of age.
She has ever since lived as one of the hOuseh old,
and has been treated and trusted as a daughter.
The household management has been largely in
her hands for many years. No daughter could
have been more energetic and faithful than she
was in respect to all the interests of the family.
Early in life she became member of the
church and was deeply interested in every branch
of Christian work for the community She acted
as secretary and treasurer for the various ladies'
societies for benevolent work, and much of the
success of these organizations was due to her
zeal and her conscientious discharge of every du-
ty. She active in forming the society of
Christian Endeavor in 1886. During all the later
years she had been at the head of the prayer
meeting committee, and had had the care of pre-
pairing the topic cards and of furnishing leaders
for the meetings, During most of the time her
feeble health would not permit of her presence at
the meetings, but she was eager to do what she
could, and always sent some tender and cheering
message to the monthly conservation service.
Her last years have been years Of sickness and
suffering, but through all her light has shone out
brightly. 80 he giyeth his beloved Sleep
