The death of Mrs. Harvey Graves, on

| of the word, whom to know was to respec,
and love. To her the home was first and
best, and she gave herself in unselfsh de-
votion to the duties of wife and mother
And yet she found many ways of bringing
happiness to others. Her cordial hospi
| tally, her thoughtful kindness, her sym
pathy and generosity, brought sunshine
into many lives. Her unobtrusive Chris
tian life was such that to be with hel
brought out the best of ones nature. 1t was
easy to be good" in her presence, and il
may truly be said that everybody who knew
| her loved her.
