MEMOIR.

On Wednesday nght of the l4th inst, when the screen ot darkness had closed around us, the angel of death entered our homo for the second time and snatched from our midst, our darling sister, Hat tie.
 She was too fair for earth; a precious jewel which God had lent us for the short tune ot sixteen bright sum ners, and seeing W did not prize her as We should. He called her ust in the bloom of life-when all natnre seemed sweetest-to he transplanted in the glory land.
 Il is hard to part with loved ones, but why should We wish to keep that which k some one else. The Lord Fivet6 and the Lord tsketh away, blessei be the name of the Lord. .
 All that loving hands and phys icaI aid could do @as done fer oar aarlzn- Hattie but= to 10 avail.
 Death had said @eome with me ana she was forced so %
 Hattie was , loving sister, all obedleat daughter. and kind and affeetioaate to her associates. Those who knew her best loved her most. She will be missed by everyone, and most by her dear mamma papa and fltIe sisters.
 She was the lie of cur home, without her 1t will be sad and lonely.
 Every body was always glad to see Hat" She was the sunbeam of the community; Ter face was radiant with smiles, and none but kind words escaped her lips.
 1 wasn't with her at the fatal hour. The death messenger reached me Thursday morn, hastened to her bed side but did not reach her until the sweet an gel, we call hope, had long since departed; and as looked upon that sweet face, it was so cold and pale it almost made me start.
 \ large number of weeping friends and relatives followed 6eI to her last resting place, in the Lacy cemetery. The usual ser vices were performed by Bro. Rowland, "her pastor.
 Cur eyes filled with tears, as one by one we took the farewell look, and said goodbye to her whose ifo was so sweet and fair
The Monticellonian., 1894-11-30

1t was then that We realized how short lie is aud how unexpectedly the reaper may come.
 Weep not dear mother. father and sisters. our loved one is only 8leeping. Let Us prepare to meet her around the great white throne. She and little Eva" are happier in Heaven than they wcrc. on earth. May we be united fnmi- ly in Heaven.
 A precious one from uS is gone,
 A voice We loved is stiiIed;
 \ place is vacant in our home
 Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled,
 The boon his love had given And thoagh her body moulders here,
 Her soul is safe in Heaven. Sleep on dear sister and take thy rest, God called thee home, He thoushtit best.
 Her loving sister,
 WILLIE. P. S.-I want to thank the good people who were so kind to us in our sad bereavement. May Gods blessing rest upon them, help them to prepare for the life to come, and meet loved ones on the other side of Jordan is the prayer of their loving friend ".
The Monticellonian., 1894-11-30

and snatebed fro1n our loving em. brace the dear form of little Lou. ie, son of Mr. and Mrs. s. E. Camp, aged 15 months. He was inc pet of all who know him.
 Dear parents, your little dar- ling is Tn the land of rest. Our Uncle and Aunt's home has lost one of it's brightest and purest gems; but we should not say lost, just transferred to that bright, co- lestial home where there is no sorrow and pain, but all is joy and bliss. Dear father and mother, you haN the sympathy of friends. the consolation of the gospel and tie bright prospects of meet ing your dear babe in heaven, where this sad farewell is never given, and kindred ties are never broken.
 Weep not, dear parents, for your little darling IS resting sweetly in Jesus.
