never fully recovered. Her funeral
was preached at her home on the 18th

one of the oldest settlers in this neigh

loved by all and there were many
eyes dimmed by tears as they gaZeC
on the remains of the loved sister and
mother who had passed away. But
mourn not, dear friends, she hal
gone to join her loved ones gone be
fore, and Is now happy and free from
all suffering and awaits to welcome
her loved ones here on earth to bet
ter home, from which there Is II,
parting. The relatives have the sin
cere sympathy of the entire commun
ity.
After the voyage aud the waters mad riot
After the tempest that breaks on the sea,

Blessed the rest In the harbor for thee.
