and hearer at the parish church of
Rev. Andrew Bonar, that she entered
at the age of II years upon the active
Christian duties which she continued
with fidelity and zeal throughout her
life. On the Sd of December, 1S47, she
was united in marriage with John Ford :,
and in May, 1049, came with him to
America, locating in this city, which
eyer since remained their home.
Six children have been the fruit of
this union, three of whom-Mrs. G. C.
Eaton, of Columbus; James @. Ford, of
Whitewater, and John G. Ford, Of
Tomah-t together with the husband ard
father, remain TO revere the memory
of faithful, loving mother and wife.
The quiet aud peaceful termination
Of this weli-spent life came, after weeks
of suffering, in the early morning Of
the 9TH inst. Two davs later, on Sat
urdaY, the remains arrived here and
the funeral services were held at the
family home on Clyman street, Rev.
George G.. Weiss, pastor of the Congre
gational church, of which Mrs Ford was
member, officiating. A source Of deep
qualification to the surviving members
of the family was the presence at the
obsequies of so many of the intimate
friends of the deceased, among those
y
erintendent of the 500 railway at Glad
stone, Mich, who travelled long dis
tance to render a final tribute to one
whose motherly love he in common
with her own offspring, generously
shared when youth.
The subject Of this sketch was uni
versally known to our citizens as
woman of noble and kindly impulses,
one who ever earnestly and conscien-
tiously strlved to exemplify in tstfullest
sense the scriptural Injunction, "Do
unto others as ye would they should
do unto you" And to such a life,
beautiful in its simplicity and goodness,
no eulogy that can be penned will
serve to add to the profoundness Of its
character or the lessons it conveys. 1t
may be truly said that she has gone
hence at perfect peace with God and
humanity.

"A Breezy Time"

Not one of the farce comedies has
greater rapidlty of movement than Fitz
and Webster's Iaughable entertainment
entitled "A Breezy Time" Incident
after incident, dance upon dance, song
after song are presented in such whirl
that the audience is constantly alert
not to miss one of the many good things
The talent Of the numerous members of
the company is SO varied and the versa
tility of several so pronounced that the
piece may be said to be we'll nigh per-
fectly cast. Mr. Fitz and Miss Web
ster were frequently encored in their
bright specialties and dialogues. Special
mention is due to Mr.. Fitz and Miss
Webster 90 their instrumental music,
and Miss Webster's singing, too, is a
very strong feature of the entertain
ment.-Philadelphio Press, October 10,
