FLORENCE Lucia SmaIley.

For the past two months the interest OF
the community has been conferred in the
Illness OF Florence, oldest daughter OF
Henry and Jennie Smaliey, and when the
sad news OF her death was announced
Saturday, August IL, il came to all with a
sense OF loss and bereavement. Florence
had been in delicate health for several
years, but her family and friends enter
tanned strong hopes OF her ultimate re-
eovery. Last September she went to
Philadelphia for treatment, where she
remained until the following May 23rd,
and had nearly recovered when she I'M
fortunately contracted the measles, then
pneumonia, and finally quick consump-
tion rendered her condition hopeless.
Her grief stricken mother was summoned
and brought Florence home, where she
fingered for few short months.
Florence Lucia Smalley was but little
past nineteen, having been born March z,
1881. Being more than ordinarily intelii-
gent and ambitious, she entered the Ran
dolph Normal school at an early age, but
the condition of her health compelled her
to discontinue her studies.
OF a thoughtful and serious turn OF
mind, she had long turned her attention
TO things spiritual, and after long and
careful consideration was baptized into
the Episcopal church. Her sweetness OF
disposition, thoughtfulness ana unselfsh-
ness made her beloved by all who knew
ner. IL was Impossible to come IN contact
with her and not feel the beauty and
purity OF her spirit. She bore her long
and painful illness bravely, eheerfully and
hopefully, never solicitnus for herself, but
always for those who watched by her
bedside. She was careful to the last to
say nothing that would grieve the dear
fsther, mother and sister whom she was
SO soon TO leave, or lead them TO think
that he was so near the dark river which
she did not fear to cross. At the last she
passed into the better lsnd with the tran
guilty snd peace known only to toe
Apure in heart"
'There is no Death What seems so is
transitions;
This life OF mortal breath
Is but a suburb OF the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death"
