During the general runs on the savings
banks of New York aud Brooklyn and

/ Mrs. Ella Lewis Packard, daughter of I. T. and Elmira Worden Lewis and wife of B. A. Packard, was born in Alfred, Alleghany county, New York Jan. z. 1851, and died of consumpt ion at Main Settlement, Sep,. ?, 1893.
 When fourteen years of age she united with the Seventh Day Baptist church of the latter place, of which she was beloved member at the time Of her death.
 She received liberal education at Alfred University, Alfred Centre. New York.
 Nov. 27, 1879, she was married to Mir. B. A. Packard, and two years later removed with her husband to Tombstone. which has since been her home.
 Last May she with her three child ren started on her long anticipated visit home, not in her usual health but with no supposition of serious illness.
 Not recuperating as anticipated she consulted a specialist in Buffalo about the middle of July, when the sad pre- dictions were made known to her.
 A telegram summoned her husband and the bitter realities were laid be- fore him by her own lips. The devot- ed husband, not reeonciled to the in evitable, spared no pains or cost to battle the dread disease.
 The few remaining weeks of suffer- ing revealed more clearly her patient, hopeful, cheerful and loving soul, and her face seemed illumined by the inner light as she in the last few hours bade adieu to many of her friends.
 She was loving and devoted wife and affectionate and conscientious mother, loyal daughter, a true and tried sister, faithful friend and a trustful and devoted child of God.
 We do not know why such a wife and mother and Christian worker was permitted to leave this earth, but Sometime we'll understand,
 "Not now, but in the coming years, "It may be in the better land,
 "We'll read the meaning of our tears And then sometime we'll understand"
