Business college and entered into an
earnest preparation for active life.
Here as elsewhere she made
friends of all who knew her. She
seemed to all an ideal of health and

with unusual severity, and before it
could be realized had, to the great
surprise of her friends, gathered her
into the realm of death.
Last Friday she was in school as
usual, but on Tuesday, June IL, she
passed into the vale of death, her
age being 20 years, 6 months and 20

lovely to be taken from earth, but

remains for US to bow in reverent
submission.
