pass to the other side. Her last hours We're
painless, and she was watched over tenderlv
by those who We're dearest to her heart In
the years she has suffered 50 much she bore
all with Christian patience and fortitude.
Her religious sympathies We're specially
with the Methodists, but all denominations
We're of one brotherhood. Pttsteld Adver-
