Mrs. Susan Reynolds.

Mrs. Susan Reynolds, a well known,
Lancaster, passed TO her final rest
after long illness. on the evening of
February LIST, 1899.
Miss Susan Taper was born in
Devonshire, England, July l4th. 1911.
She was twice married. Her first
husband died not long after marriage.
OF this union a son was born who
died many years ago Her second
husband was Thomas Reynolds, also
for many years deceased She came
with her husband and family to the
United States and located for a while
in Cleveland, Ohio, but in 1854 re.
moved TO Lancaster. where she con-
tinued to reside up to the time Of
her death, making her home the last
thirty-eight years of that time with
her daughter and only child, and her
son-in-law. Mr.. Henry Muesse.
She was baptized in infancy in the
Anglican church and spent her long
life in its communions, exemplifying
her Christian principles in her daily
life. Her record is that Cf life, long
and well spent. In her last illness,
which extended over a period of six
years, she was sustained by the
Christians hope and bore her suffer
ings with great fortitude. She was
in many respects remarkable wo-
man, and though she lived TO be
nearly SO years Of age, her mental
faculties remained unimpaired to the
last. Her memory of past events was
wonderfully accurate, and while low
| ing to dwell upon scenes that passed
in her early live, she retained a lively
interest in passing events. She had
well cultivated mind and a dis
position habitually cheerful. She
held strongly to her friendships and
enioyed the love of her family and
affectionate respect of all who knew
her. For her, death had no terrors,
and she welcomed his coming as that
of friend. Her favorite hymns
were, LEAD Kindly, Light" and
which. at his last visit, she asked hel
pastor to read to her. She longed fol
rest, and it came as she had hoped,
the Christians promised rest.
REST for the toiling hand
Rest for the anxious brow;
| Rest for the weary way worn feet,
Rest from all labor now.
Rest for the fevered brain,
! Rest for the throbbing eye;
| Through these parched lips no more
Shall pass the moan or sigh

Klutina river at the head of the rapids,
thirty miles from its mouth waiting
for the river to freeze over so that we
can move on. We are going to pull
up the Copper on the ice and cross
over into the Yukon country in the
spring. There mas been nothing found
here of any Importance and there isn't
likely to be anything found either, for
the whole Copper river valley is of a
new wash, and bed rock cannot be
reached as it doesn't freeze all the
way down. We had quite time get

my advice to you is never come to

hundreds of men in here that have
families at home and they put every

they are going out empty handed.
The rapids here were very bad and
more than fifty men lost everything
