II 80 o'clock, Mrs. Minnie Albro
Classify, wife OF S. S. Classify, editor OF
the Sentinel- Democrat. Mrs. Classify
bad not yet reached her twenty-sev-
enth year, aud had been wife fol
but little more than five years. A
gifted woman to whom God had given
"a much more than ordinarily bright
mind she was enabled to write many
beautiful and helpful things.
The story of her life aud falling
asleep the sorrowing husband has 80
well told, that we copy il from his
papers
1t is Finished.
Her poor, tired soul has gone to
rest. Her death was peaceful as
the sleep of childish innocence ;
her resignation to the will of God
was complete and across her bright
hopes-nay, her full assurance of
life eternal, there fitted no shad-
ow of doubling.
Ny dear wife, Minnie Albro Cas-
sity-+the best friend | had on
earth--died Thursday morning,
March 16, 1898, after more than
five months of prostration and
suffering, at the residence of Rev.
A. j. Arrick on Queen street, where
she was carried Monday by loving
hands to escape the terrible fire on
Harrison Avenue which wrecked
our residence.
She was born August 16, 1868,
in Montgomery county, and was
the eldest daughter of Geo. c. and
Hattie (Albro) Smith. We were
married Oct. Is, 1887, and we have
three bright sweet children to
scatter sunshine upon the cherries
waste which was once our happy
home. They were born as follows
Alice Albro, Jan. 1st. 1889.
John Leroy, July 9Th, 1890.
Harriet Lenore, March 1st, 1898
The latter little angel never
knew its mother and was scarcely
known by her; yet | pray God tc
give me grace, strength and wis
dom to rear these children, and t.
so live myself that we all may
be reunited, happy family OF
the shadowless shores of that lanC
'beyond the taking, losing anc
leaving"
As wife. mother and friend she
l,vingly discharged every duty
She was never very strong, physi
cally, poor girl! but her mind
rich with the spoils choice litera
ture and useful knowledge, was evel
active and to me it was the guide
post to nobler thoughts, the lamp
that shone for me upon the path o
high resolves and more exalted
manhood. Oh, God, may her swee
memory ever linger about ME ant
mine as our guard and guide il
every act and thought-our sOlact
in every time of trouble.
1t seems to me that it came il
the nature of a Providence afte
all, for her to be removed to tn,
home of that good man and WON
an. Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Ariel
Frequently, during several hour
before her death she asked Brothe
Arrick to pray God that her dealt
should be easy. This he did
and that prayer was answered
She died without a struggle
and in my arms as she had of
ten requested, while Brother Ariel
sang Jesus Lover of My Soul.
She frequently asked Bro. Ariel
to sing for her, and her reques
was cheerfully granted. Her ia
vorite song began "The mistakes o
my life have been many"
Only short time before disso
luton took place, she said in sloN
and measured tones: "WHAT LIFl
Is TO THE LIVING, DEATH - TO TIL
DEAD" ! had heard her before il
the still watches of the night whel
there was no one present eXcep
our God and myself, say the sam
thing. If it is Il quotation iron
any book / have never read it.
But all has been said that nee
be said. Desolation surrounds tn
