tude for teaching she engaged in that &C.
cupation for several years. She followed

until death and then Der life was soon
filled with other joys and duties. She was
married in 1867 to Mr.. Gilbert, a veteran
OF the war, and lived with him until her
death on the farm which had been owned
by her grandfather in the pioneer days of
Randolph. She was the mother of two
sons and three daughters, all of whom sur
vive her and who, with husband whose
life Was bound up in hers, and niece who
knew no other mother, are left to meet the
world without her cheering and encour-
aging presence. She had been delicate for

said and it left nothing more which need
ed to be said.
Mrs. Gilbert was baptized in childhood
by the Rev. Josiah Obear and was con-
tirmed b. the Rt. Rev. John II. Hopkins,
July IS, 1856. From that time forward she
lived a consistent Christian life before the
world. she was charitable to the poor and
active in all good works OF beneyolence,
Her church was to her a divine institution
and not mere social club, and She dedl-
Gated With joy her two sons TO It's minis
try. She was wise in counsel, energetic in
works, and she left a vacancy in the ranks
OF the church which viii not soon 6e.lilled.
May those who are left TO mourn grow in
to the wisdom which distinguished her.
It's held that sorrow makes US wise,
Yet how much wisdom sleeps with thee
