obliging neighborand her friends
were as countless as the sands by
the sea. A few years ago the family
moved TO Oregon where they have
since resided, and whe1e the mother,
after long years of following in the
! footsteps of her Redeemer, gently
sank to restin that sleep that knows
no awakening, and the guardian
angels waited her spirit up yonder
before the great white throne where
all is peace and Joy and love. She
was member of the Methodist
church and died in the faith she
had lived for so many years. We
all feel deeply for Mr.. Pattison and
family in their hour of bereave-
ment. An extended obituary will
be printed III The Journal next
week.
