taking its departure. A fitting moment
for the fight of peace loving spirit and
kindly heart.

her best speak only in the most approv-
ing terms. The funeral services were
held at the Congregational church, Rev.
krause delivering very impressive and
thoughtful short sermon. The members
of the K, O. T. NJ. and L. 0. T. M. had
charge of theexercises. The church was
well filled by sympathetic Knights,
Ladies and friends.
The floral pieces were numerous and
very tasty. A goodlv number followed
the remains to Crystal Lake cemetery
where the interment took place. the final
part being accompanied by typical
June shower which hastened both rela-
tives and friends from the scene.
Mrs. Gillette leaves husband, three
daughters and son to mourn her de-
parture and to these their many friends
and acquaintances tender. heartfelt SYM
pathy. She was born in Plymouth, Mass.

the history of masonry, from its incep-
