The death of this good and loved woman,
while not wholly unexpected, touched many
hearts with the sense of personal bereave-
ment, for Mrs. Brewster's life had been a
continuous one of good deeds and noble
tpurposes, and to her had come more than
the usual circle of warm and devoted
friends. In early life she had embraced
christianity, and lived her daily round
amid the warmth and strength fits trusted
inspiration. Her predominating thought
was to minister to others, to her family and
friends, and to any who had need of heI
kindly sympathy and help. Hers was q
life that scattered blessing to all whom il
touched ,unstintedly, and with heart wholly
free from all save pure and true and noble
gentleness and kindliness. Her presence
was ever gladdening and her memory will
be treasured as the remembered fragrance
of a sweet and smiling flower. Of her i
may be said as in the Proverb, strength
and honor are her clothing" and of hel
end that it is peace. Mrs. Brewster wa:
= born at South Charleston, Ohio, and passed
= her early life in her native state, where
her marriage took place and where three
: children were born to her. Two of tnes'

, much of the time have been gathered he
Iparents and relatives. Just year and I
week ago her aged father, Mr.. SnOwden
passed away, and to the aged mother ha
come the grief of seeing the daughter pas
on ahead into the future. For her, for tn
, bereaved husband, son and daughter, TO
the devoted brother and sister, Rev. ]. Z
: Snowden, of LeMars, and Mrs. Geo. w
Weeks, of Marshalltown, will be felt tn
deepest sympathy of a wide circle in
loss so personal to many friends as well a
to the saddened household of the deceased
Mrs. Brewster's illness had extended owe
a period of eight months, but her suffering
was never acute, and was one of exhaus
. ton of force and general debility At tn

IT'S hard to part with a mothers love, an
the bereaved ones have the sympathy O
all. May they all look to Him who doet
all things we'll, and at last meet this goo
and noble woman in that brighter, bette
: land, where sin and sorrownever enter.
d Dearest mother, thou art sleeping
In thy quiet grave below,
Where thy spirit oft did wander
While thou fingered here below.
Many years thy frame was shattered
By dread diseases fatal flame.
No one knoweth what thou suffered;
But thy end was free from pain.
: An angel came over the river,
And beckoned our dear one away.
= In anguish prayed to the giver
, The hand of the angel to stay.
| cried, oh God, spare our loved one, .
The one that made happy our home.
Yet teach us to yield to Thy pleasure,
And we pray that Thy will may be done
'Tis hard to break the tender cord,
, When love has bound the heart.
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words:
We must forever part.
"Asleep in Jesus Blessed sleep!
From which none ever wake to weep.
A calm and undisturbed repose,
, UnbrOken by the last of foes"
