z. 1896, the following beautiful tribute
to the memory of Mrs. Eliza H. Cum.
mings was read by the Secretary:
We have met to-day under the shad.
ow of great sorrow. One whom we
all loved for the nobility of her charac
ter, of our social circle one of its
choicest members, friend, neighbor,
citizen, and lovely Christian character,
will be missed.
Whenever her cheerful presence was
sought there was ready and generous
welcome. Words are vain expressions
to emphasize the hearts loneliness and
longing for one who had been one Of
us, but is now sleeping the sleep that
knows no waking. Byron in one of
his fugitive pieces expresses the idea
with psthos and gentle tenderness:
GA fountain in tho desert 10 springing,
On the wild waste there still is a tree,
A bird in the solitude singing.
That speaks to my spirit Of thee"

ever strengthened the ties that drew
us to her by the simple and unostenta-
tious practice of truth, honor and sin.
