MISS NELLIE c. MAY.

Miss Nellie c. May peacefully passed renee May, Wednesday noon, August l6. For about a year she has been sick with consumption and she bore her sickness with cheerful resignation. The deceas- ed was member of St Francis Navier's church, New Milford. She had kind heart and amiable disposition which won the love of her many friends. The fu- neral took place from the church, Satur- day morning, where solemn high mass of requiem was offered, celebrated by Father Curtin, with two assistants. The singing was excellent, especially the of fertory piece. The pail bearers were from Danbury. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful including a wreath with "Nellie," and pillow with "Sister," and others which were very beautiful. She looked lovely as she lay robed in shroud of white silk in a cask- ct of white brocaded velvet, lined with white silk. The deceased was Is years, five months and two days old, and was NSIy bliSub youAiS louy' oho iCu o most innocent life and died very happy death surrounded by those she loved best. She was laid to rest by the side of her mother. Much sympathy is felt for her father, brothers and sisters, es- pecially for her sister Mary, who nursed her with the tenderest care and to whom she was greatly attached.
 A precious one from us has gone,
 voice we loved is still,
 A place Is vacant in our home,
 Which never can be filled.
 God in his wisdom has recalled
 The boon his love had given,
 And though the body slumbers now,
 The soul Is safe in Heaven.
 Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
 Thy warm, true heart is still
 And on thy young and innocent brow,
 Is resting deaths cold chill.
 Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
 We have kissed thy lovely brow,
 And in our aching hearts we know
 We have no daring now.
