by brain fever. lasting but FIVE DAYS:
the first two exciting her mind beyond
reason. Afterwards she slept calmly.
but awoKe, Wednesday evening, know
ing everyone, and with that beaming
brightness, which can only be ac-
counted for as a foretaste of Heaven
itself, she bid farewell to her parents
and sisters, and brother, and each one
present; and such farewell few ever
have the pleasure of witnessing. Ian

At about eight years of age, with her
family, moved to Kansas City, Mlssou-
