with those who trust Him:
Yea, though walk through the valley of
the shadow OF death, | will fear no evil: for
thou art with me-; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
During the last few months she suffered
intensely, meanwhile ever exhibiting the
same high degree of courage and tortitude
which sustained, soothed and cheered her
when, earlier, the beacon light of hope was
bright with promises of health and useful
ness restored.
Hers was a noble character Modest, un-
assuming, and faithful in the performance
of every duty her lovely traits had attracted
the friendship ola multitude in her adopted
city. These attested their devotion by con-
slant manifestations of concern in her wei
fare during the long period of her illness,
and to the funeral they came laden with
choicest flowers to cover her bier and tears to
mingle with the grief of the sorrowing
family.
Her father, mother, five brothers and two
sisters survive to remember her example of
patience through suffering and to reflect
that

But one dead lamb is there;
There is no fireside howsoeer defended
But has one vacant chair.

But oftentime celestial benedictions

The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. J. NJ. Cromer, of the First Lutheran
church. This gentleman was with her few
hours before she passed away and received
her dying testimony of faith in the Redeemer
and confident expectation of share in the
rest which "renlaineth for the people of
God" In these last utterances the pastor
had an inspiring theme and an opportunity
which he used for a beautiful and memorable
tribute to her christian life, exemplary
character and triumphant death.
All that is mortal now rests in the bosom
of "Elmwood," a beautiful city of the dead,
there to remain until God shall summon all
who love His appearing" ~
