The Great Archer has been very
busy in our section. Thick and fast
has bis shafts fallen upon our ranks
the past year. Again and again has
the orderly course OF our avocations
been interrupted and we have been
compelled to pause in the presence
of our dead. To this unbidden guest
we must, however, reluctantly yield
lal and place; IN his dread pres
ence all earthly concerns must retire.
The latest sister to pay the great
debt, the last to cross the mystic
river, was Roxana McCauley, the
wife of John McCauley, in Osange
county, Bingham township, who died
Dec. Il, 1900, OF general prostration.
She was the daughter of Mr.. j. g.
Sykes, whose death was chronicled
the first OF last October. She died
in her 49th year and left a husband
and ten children to mourn her death.
Five OF her children are married.
She was a member of Cane Greek
Baptist church tor a long time. 1t
was the writer's lot to know her
well. Her kindness left her no re
morse, but crowned her last hours
with blessings. Her upright walk
in the path of duty LETT her no bit
,erness OF spirit. No wrong, or Of
trust betrayed, or obligation undls
charged, or unjust word to be re.
called, could have clouded her eyes
as they gazed upon the eternal shores
whittier she VAS drifting. She was
a true and devoted wife and a kline
aud loving mother and a good neigh

friend, having placed her body in The
embrace Of mother earth and con
mended her soul to God, we pay
this last tribute to her memory ant
hold out her upright and v%irtuou.
