Mrs. Furay WAS singulary quiet and
nndemonstrative in manner: but. though
making few professions, she was warm
hearted and atfectiouate and was the very
soul Of sincerity and candor, with kindly
feeling for all and a devotion to her
friends that be@rudyed no service or
sacrifice in their behalf.
She had her SORROWS and sore trials,
but she never indulged in their recital
and bore them with the fortit'lde and
resignation OF the true Christian that she
was.

surrounded by loving relatives and
friends, and her sisters, Mrs. A. II.
Mitchell, Mrs, Geo W. Irwin, Mrs. n.
