She came to Butler on Feb. > intend
ing to visit her brother w S. Brandon
for week or two. Although not feel
! ing well she attended prayer meeting
on the 9th, took her bed on the 10th;
| when the DR.. was called she was suffer
| ing from heart trouble, but soon ty-
phoid fever developed in its most
| dreaded form. The weak condition of
| the heart made the case critical from
| the first
Her suffering was intense during the
| greater part of her iillnoss and although
the case seemed almost hopeless from
the first yet all that loving friends, and
modern medical science could do was
done.
The morning preceding her death
she seemed to rally; about 10 o'clock
| she seemed to fall into that life giving
sleep which is the coma of the fever, but
alas it was the sleep that knows no
waking.
! her physicians were hastily summon
ed, the friends and relatives were hur-
ried to the bedside only to see the end
which came speedily and peacefully, not
pain, not a struggle. Calm and
peacefully her spirit was bourne back
| to her maker
The deceased was faithful member
of the Mt. Nebo Presbyterian church
| and of the Y. p. S. G. E. of st. John
| Reformed church.
She had early given her heart TO God
and was prepared for the end.
During the earlier part of her sickness,
| just before the delerium, she told those
present that she would not recover,
| bade them all goodbye, gave message
| to each brother and sister, then where
and how she wished to be laid to rest,
who she wished to conduct her funeral
service and made all arrangements.
From that time to the end her only
wish was to be with God.
Often would she say,
I'm going to Heaven,
"Why do you keep me here when |
shall be so happy there, so happy.
How sweet it will be to be with
God. Don't try to keep NEEDN'T
you see | want to go
Faithfully we carried ont her last
wishes.
Silently we lowered her into the grave
Tenderly laid her to rest.
Softly covered her from view.
Lovingly laid our garlands Of flowers
on that new mound.
Tearfully left that last resting place
Calmly thought OF that Christian
death, and asked
80, death where is thy sting; O., grave
where is thy yictory?" w
