In Memory of Katie Grey,
WHO WENT TO SLEEP ON EARTH. To1up
WITH CHRIST IN HEAVEN, ON THE
18TH OF JANUARY, 1901.

She was the precious daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Paul Lawrence
and the beloved and loving wife
of Mr.. A. w. Prince.
One short year of her happy
life was given to her devoted
young husband, around whose
heart she had twined her love in
beautiful and undying tendrils.-
Her bright and joyous life was
brief, only % years did God lend
her to earth to dispel gloom with
bright smiles and sunny nature.
She seemed to scatter sunshine
wherever she went-like lovely
drop she "sparkled, was exhaled
and went to Heaven"
She left as precious legacy of
her love, a darling little girl only
five days old. May the tender
bud blossom intos.as lovely a flow
er-as beautiful and noble a
character as her sainted mother.
May God commission the gentle
spirit Of our darling Katie to min
lister to. each of us here, and to
guide with angelic light the de-
clining days of
