OBITUARY.
In the death Of our dear friend and
brother, Rev. Jno. Young, of Excel
sior, we have lost one of our most
earnest and faithful workers in the
Sunday school and Christian work,
one consecrated to the service of his
Master. Yet death we all must face,
and, Notwithstanding this and the
sorrow that it brings to us. let us re-
member his noble, Cody life, the
prayers that assembled from him to
Almighty God for us, and heed the
words that he so often and so earn
estly spoke to us; that we accept the
ALLOWING Christ as our Comforter
and Savior, and let each one that
names the name of Jesus strive TO
continue the Sunday schoolwork that
our beloved brother began and was
the leader in, that the Sunday school
of Excelsior may flourish to the glory
of God, that the children and all who
will may be enlightened in the pre-
cious Word and receive that light
which leadeth unto salvation. And
to the bereaved wife and children, as
Sunday school association and rs
personal friends, we extend our most
heartfelt sympathy in this, perhaps
the saddest hour of their life, and as
word of cheer we say: May all sad
hearts find comfort with Him in Whom
alone comfort is found.
A FRIEND.
OBITUARY.
Died, at the Arnold Hotel in this
city, January 81, 1901, at 1928 p. m 4,
Maude, beloved wife of Marshal Sher-
burne, aged 81 years, months and
Is days. Deceased was formerly bet
ter known as Miss Maude Berkeley.
She was married to Marshal Sher-
burne December 81, 1894. Two chill
dren, a boy now aged 8 years and a
girl nearly 2,share with the bereaved
father in his irreparable loss. Only a
year ago Mr.. Sherburne had the mis-
fortune to lose both legs in railway
accident. For a long time his life
hung in the balance. To the tender,
patient care of his devoted wife, more
than to any other cause, he owed his
recovery. She nursed him back to
life and strength. Her sudden and
unexpected death coming so soon up
on the heels of his former misfortune
has filed his cup of sorrow to over
flowing. Mrs. Sherburne's sudden
and unexpected death was caused by
pyemia. The funeral was held at the
hotel on Monday afternoon and the
remains were inferred in Forest Gem
etery. The two little children, Cecil
and Bertha, will be cared for by Mr..
and Mrs. A. R. Sherburne, of Pleas
ant Grove township.
Alasl dear Maude, thou art gone,
Thy spirit has left it's house of clay,
Affections great thou long hath borne
Before death summoned thee away.
Twas the Savior's voice that called
thee home,
Away from loved ones dear,
And He will comfort those that mourn
And wipe away our tears.
Farewell, dear sister, once more fare
we'll,
Until we cross deaths shadowy river
And meet thee in home where an
gels dwell,
To sing Gods praise forever.
We miss thee, sister, thy words of love,
But we hope to meet thee in home
above,
Where there is no sorrow, grief or
pain;
We do not wish thee back again.
Gods ways are always just,
Although they seem severe;
IT'S earth to earth and dust to dust,
Immortality reigneth not here.
And when the parting hour has come,
And we must bid farewell
