Of Brother George Il. and sarah VI.

$50. and died in Hiram, December llth,
1891.
Cut of in early life In her prime and
beauty, while doing brayely and we'll
every conscious duty, she has passed
away.
When but child Of three years of
age she commenced her attendance at
the public schools, aud even then gave
promise OF those bright mental gifts that
In her later life were so clearly marked.
Her young mind was unusually mature,
and she exhibited that quickness OF ill.,
telligence. that retentiyeness OF memory,
and that readiness OF comprehension,
that characterized her till the time OF her
death.
Although her life was short, IL was
memorable for its industry, and was
crowded with successes and good works.
IL was radiant with earnestness OF pur-
pose, purity of motive, exemplarness OF
conduct, love for humanity, forgettul-
ness OF self, thoughtfulness OF others. II
NAV well be taken as guide. One OF
son OF purity and good will
She was graduate OF FryeDurg
Academy, has been successful teacher,
and supervisor OF OUT schools. The
excellence of her social qualities gave
her prominent place among her friends
and acquaintance, and the gentleness oil
her disposition. and the goodness OF her
heart. endcared her to all. None knew
her but to love her.
The beauty of her character in one OF
its phases is well Illustrated by the few
last months Of her life prior 10 her last
sickness. These she devoted 10 constant
watchfulness and care In attendance
upon her sick sister, 10 whom she was
tender nurse, cheering her aud leading
her encouragingly on through many
days OF languishing illness, a pillar OF
cloud by day, a flame of fire by night.
In the spring-time OF her life, freight
ed with bright hopes and pleasant antic-
ipations of the future, she has been
taken from Us. She was charter MEN,
Der of this chapter, and since its organi-
cation has been a prominent actor IN It's
sffairs, and has contributed very much
towards its prosperity. She never
showed reluctance in aiding il with her
talents and influence, and was always
willing to personally participate in all It's
transactions that she deemed conducive
TO its welfare. She has always held
office; and the two offices TO which she
was elected are two very important ones
in the chapter. At the time OF her
decease she was its presiding officer.

Gle and snatched from 1t one OF its
brightest jewels.

Their and mother, sisters and brother, our
sincere sympathies, while mingling our
grief and tears with theirs, AS they
cherish her memory and sigh
"For the touch OF avanished hand.
And the sound OF voice that Il still"
