1t becomes our painful duty to report that
| again our association has suffered great
| loss in the death of one of its most beloved
members. Since last we met, Miss Emelie
| E. Hatch has been taken from our number
and transferred to the higher life. AS we
recall her life of devotion to others regard
less of her own frailties; as we think of her
pure life and noble Christian character as
We recount the many deeds of kindness
exhibited by her in daily life, we feel that
"Our loss is her gain and, therefore, we
should not mourn unduly. This association
extends its heartfelt sympathy to the mem
bers of this immediate family in their atfiic-
tion and trust that as their hold on this
| life lessons with advancing years, their Joy
may be full with anticipation of a happy
reunion in the life to come.

better results than all his previous work in
that direction, having added nearly a thou
sand names to his genealogical record and
ascertaining that the early record of the
family can be obtained from England.
