arms of Jesus, at his home in Dodson
township, Highland county, Ohio,
George W. Smith, September 10, 1897,
aged 56 years, months and 25 days
He was married to Lydia Wilkins
November 2, 1865 By this union were
born thirteen children, all of whom are
living except one, little Clara, who had
preceded him to that better land But
while mother and children are called
upon to mourn the loss of kind and
afectionate husband and father, their
loss is his eternal gain. He united with
the Christian Church at Fairview at an
early age. He was a consistent member
We have evidence to believe he died
in full triumph of a living faith. Let us
rejoice that with the loved and lost he
stands in the presence of his risen Lord
to depart no more forever. He served
three years in the war, and was mem
ber of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen for a number of years His
funeral was preached to large con.
course of relatives and friends at Fair.
view by Rev. Crltes, of Tiffin, Ohio,
after which the remains were placed in
their last resting place in the Stroup
cemetery.
The circle of loved ones is broken,
The father has gone on before:
But, why do we mourn, or do we complain
We trust in Gods mercy, we'll meet him again.
Sleep on, gentle angel father;
When life's tolls and cares are DER
We will meet you-yes in heaven
On that bright and golden shore.
We miss you, OH, We miss you,
When we see that vacant chair:
y we miss you everywhere,
But we now take courage,
For we hope some day to meet you
On that bright and happy shore.

NY Mother.in.Law.

Hurl your coarse gibes ct me, II you will,
TIL they rasp me red and raw.
I'll bear the brunt OF your heartless skill,
But spare my mother.in-law.
There may be women know not Of
With many fleck and flaw,
Women at whom you can laugh and scoff
But not my mother. in.law.
When sickness invades or sorrow comes,
Or troubles our household awe.
There's none 30 helpful in our home
Az that kind mother-in-lsw.
oh children Of mine, 80 fair and bright,
Tell, II ever yet you saw
A mortal rejoice In your delight,
As does my mother in-law
Should playthings bro1 en- or some mishap
Your tears convulsive draw.
There's comfort sure on grAndma's lap,
And she's my mother-in-law.
Should pleasures come with rapturous feet
And success with its eclat,
There's one to whom 'tis comfort sweet,
And that's my mother-in-!aw.
Should blighting ills strike the fold love,
And fear at my heart-strings gnaw,
There's an angel there, like those above,
And she's my mother-in-law.
Along the path Of this checkerd life,
Whether winds blow blithe or Draw,
Ne'er stands truer friend by me and wife,
Than is my mother in.iaw.
And when, Oh Lord, my summons shall come
II thy heart toward me should thaw,
Oh, give me not heavenly home
Without my mother .in-law.
Oh, ye who wound with cruel mirth,
Ye who strike, nor car straw.
Would that all your souls had half the worth
OF one sweet mother.in.law.
Strike me, il ye will Strike hard and fair
can stand youc loud guffaw,
But there's one dear soul you've got to spare,
And that's my mother-iL-law.
