Departed this life February LIST, 1898, aged SIS
years, months and - days.
Ills sad thought that another home has
been visited by the dark angel of death and q
loved one torn from our presence to the dark
shadows OF the tomb. Can it be so? How
strange it seems, how difficult to realize that
she is gone, that we no more shall look upon
that face so o ten bcaming with smile and
pleasant greeting for us. Alas, the vacant
seat in the family circle tells too plainly of an
absent member, of voice silent in death, OF
hands once cheerfully employed in providing
the necessary comforts for her dear family
now laid to rest until the resurrection morn.
The vision has passed, the bright dreams have
fled,
Our mothers no more, she sleeps with the
dead.
For heaven hath called her from sorrow and
pain
To dwell with her Saviour, to part not again.
No more shall we see her form, loved and
dear,
No more her voice our troubled hearts cheer,
But hope whispers sweetly in accents of love,
We shall see her again in heaven above.
