In MemOriam.

Ann Elizabeth Terry, wife OF
Samuel Terry, who departed this
life on Friday morning, February
8th, 1901, in her Goth year, was
called upon to suffer more than is
the lot of humanity, rheumatism
claiming her for its victim, followed
by asthma, which caused the end
To many of US it was a mystery
how she could be cheerful in the
midst of her, 81 ffefing and when
questioned she once said: "It was
a long time before | was willing to
submit to being an invalid. and 1
chafed under it, but after a severe
struggle | could say the Lords will
be done.'
After the asthma became so
severe the rheumatism abated
somewhat, but in her own quaint
manner she said she had had the
rheumatism so long that it was
company for her.
The deceased was for many years
a consistent member of the Rising
Sun M. E. church, attending the
services many times with a great
sacrifice.
She was a member of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety and the Ladies' Aid society of
the church and member of the
w. G. I. u, and in every one of
the societies she was a usefnl mem
Der, present as long as able, and
when health failed her means and
prayers were with the work and
workers.
Her husband and two sons, two
sisters and two brothers as we'll as
a large circle of friends, are left to
mourn the loss OF her example of
patience and Christian furtitude.
We know our loss is her eternal
gain. She will not come to us but
if we are faithful we shall go to her.

Pulsing through the leafy shade;

And see the drummer unafraid.
Or when the autumn leaves are shed.
And frosts attend the fading year.

And feel my own with added force
When red run drops his cautious pose.
And forward takes his humming course.
The startled birches shake their curls.

Its feathered missile through the trees.
