an illness of two weeks Mrs. E. A. Hol-
liday died Thursday April 10th, at her
home. The deceased had just passed
her sixty ninth birthday and was the
mother of ten chill dren, seven of whom
survive her. While our hearts go ont
in deepest sympathy for her stricken
children, we we feel that we would
love to claim the sympathy of others,
fer all who knew her feel as if the have
lost mother and her dear face will
never cease to be before us. She was
full of energy and determination, al
ways busy, doing something to please
others; her children especially. Med
ical skill and the most attentive nurs-
ing were baffled by her disease, The
impressive and touching ceremony was
conducted by the pastor, Rev. w. Fer
CURSOR, whose remarks were touching
and beautiful. The deep sad signs of
the stricken children as they looked in
to the broad grave, were enough to
touch the hearts of any one. May God
in his mercy bind up the deep wounds,
which He in His providence has made
