considerably reinforced bv members from
Staples, Brainerd, and other points, es-
corted the ,cortege. From many towns
came relatives and friends Of the deceased
TO render the last act of respect the liv-
ing may show to the dead. Mrs. Clulow
81 Brainerd, conducted the services in
that sympathetic manner which seldom
fails to touch the heart OF every hearer.
She chose as the basis OF her brief, thou9
eloquent discourse the inspiring and con-
soling words IRON St. John, 11:25: II
an the Resurrection and the Life, He
.shat Belisyeth, ia ssne.v Though he die.
Yet shall he Live.' IT : :
A large number of flowers were sent to
the family for the occasion.

4. G.: Valentine, of .Brainerd; Mrs.
Clary, Mrs. Glunt and Mrs. Haneon, IT
staples; Miss. Powell, Of Scriven, the W.
r. C., Mrs. MeMillin, Mrs. Hodge, Mrs.
NORM. and Miss Penfeld, Of Motley.
The procession which left the NJ. E.
church and slowly wended it's way to
Evergreen cemetery was certainly the
most solemn, az well as Longest, ever
seen in Motley, on similar occasions.
With what force the following words
OF Edward Sill were brought to our
mind az we momentarily lost ourselves
to the throng Of people as they silently
and reverently departed from the DWELL
ing place of the dead:
Yet twill only be sleep;
When with songs and dewy light
Morning blossoms out of Night,
+: She will open her blue eyes
Meath the palms of Paradise,
While we foolish ones shall weep.
