H. G. Williams. She had been i'll five
weeks, bearing her intense sufferings with
that Christian patience which rarely pos
sesses one so young, even without a muir
muir or complaint. She was a member of
the Christian Endeavor Society, and moth
ing but severe storms or sickness kept her
away from its meetings on Sunday evening.
Her mind remained clear and bright until
the last. She said: 81 am not afraid to die"
and asked her pastor to make an evening
PRAYER. She selected her funeral text from
these words: 81 am the resurrection and
the life" On Easter day, she was laid to
rest in the village cemetery, surrounded by
the beautiful flowers she loved so well, fur
nished by Masons, Stars, Endeavorers,
family relatives and friends, each emblem
conveying sympathy words cannot express.
