On Friday, January 5th, Mrs. Cora Ward
wife of Mr.. George Ward, of Warwick
Md, entered into eternal rest. She haG
been great sufferer although sick but
little over five weeks. She sought the aid
of medical science day by day and even
had medical aid from places other than her
and being quite in the prime of life, aged
twentyrthree years-but when the skill OF
eminent physicians brought but little ale.
Walton from pain, she turned her face
homewsrd to abide the will of God She
was most patient sufferer, and week by
week, and day by day, she grew weaker and
weaker, until the final end came. She
feared not death for her life was that of a
pure and consecrated Christian being pos
sessed with a disposition that was pleasing
to all, a conscience as pure as a child's, a
sympathy that embraced every living
creature and an unwearied industry.
During all of her illness she seemed so
perfectly resigned having borne her suffer-
ings with that fortitude and grace which is
ever characteristic of lovely, Christian
character. While upon the bed of affliction,
she was surrounded by her relatives and
friends and loving hands patiently ad-
ministered to her suffering, and occasionly
she told those at her bedside that, "If it
was the Lords will, she wanted to go Home
to Him in Heaven" and seeming to always
have her trust in God.
Deceased was the daughter Of the late
Henry Maslin and Mrs. Annie B. Maslin,
who for years had resided in Warwick.
From early childhood she was member of
the Methodist Church and she found real
pleasure in serving the Lord day after day,
and her devotion to her Master SO clearly
claimed her first and highest ambition. |
Her husband, who was so kind and Ede- |
voted to her at all times, and who is liked |
by all who know him, could not but be |
greatly distressed at this crushing blow,
and the deyoting mother, together with her
loving brother, aunts and other relatives,
are in the very nature Of things pierced
with the keenest grief, yet they do not suf-
er as those without hope, for they are fully
aware that their dear one had long ago
committed her soul to Him ''who died for
