ANOTHER LINK BROKEN!

ANOTHER LINK BROKEN!
Among the precious, hallOwed memo
ries of our boyhood days in Booths Hill
is that of the pleasant family of Mr. and
Mrs Judson Shelton, one of our nearest
and dearest neighbors, in those, now
far-away years. How often, on our way
to school, we used to ''drop in" to that
pleasant home, and have,as our company
the rest of the way some of the joyous
and happy members Of that dear family.
1t was very interesting family, and
they have all done well and nobly in life.
Since those bright, golden days Of child.
hood, changes many and sad have come
to that precious family. One by one the
golden links have dropped out Of that
family chain of earthly love and friend
ship, as the dear ones have been called to
the spirit world. That household band
is decreasing, its numbers are growing
less. In THE BEE of August 10, to our
surprise, we found notice of the death
of the eldest daughter, Mrs Harriet Buck
ingham. So another loved one has pase-
ed to the rest and home on the other side
Jordan. Hers was an earnest, noble,
christian life, aad we wish to pay this
simple tribute to her loyal character and
precious memory. How glad we were
to meet her again two years ago. How
familiar the pames of that dear family
seem to us, how pleasant the music they
bring to US from the distant past! Minor,

brothers and three sisters are still living.
May the dear Lord bless and comfort
those who remain.-[ Rev G. N. Nichols,
Andover, August 10, 1900.
