1898, She was a bright, promising child.
She had very affectionate nature and
was never happier than when doing
something to promote the happiness
Of those she loved. She wasof An inde.
pendent disposition, always preferring
to perform her tasks alone, never asking
assistance unless absolutely necessary.
Her sense of duty and her ability to
discharge the same, was far in advance

most difficult work of housekeeping in
an intelligent manner, and in this regard
had made her services almost indispen.
sable. In school she was an apt scholar,
had just been promoted from the inter.
mediate to the grammar department of

And flowers to wither at the North Winds

And stars to set, but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, Oh,
Death"
About week before her death and just
before she passed into the unconscious
state she called her mamma to her, put
her arms about her neck and drawing
her down close to her, said.> "You will
stay with me, won't you mamma?" 1t
