Elsewhere we give the details of the death
by drowning of Miss Anna Vincent Wyatt,
only daughter of Mr.. Joshua G. Wyatt, of
this town. The cutting short of a life so
full of sweetness must bring a shadow to
ever, one who has had contact, ever so slight,
with it-even were there no peculiarly dis
tressing incidents attending. During the
years spent in this town, Miss Wyatt bound
to herself a host of friends, who saw in her
a model of womanly lovliness and sincerity,
and loved her for qualities of which her
personal grace and charm were only the out
ward expression. By every visible token
she was one Of the pure in heart to whom
the highest blessedness is assured.
Her ewes are closed, that were the door
Through which the light had found access
To her sweet soul foreyermore
The fair soul-house is tenantless.
Her eyes are closed yet, in the night
That saw her fuller life begin,
The watchers knew the ~clearest light,
Just dawued, was that her eyes shut IN.

Could we look past you through her eyes,
Should we, too, lay aside our breath

Her remains were brought to Charles
