The Death of Mrs. Cornish.

1t is very difficult task to speak of
the death of our friends. Words are
not full enough to express the deep
sorrow which bodies over our hearts
when loved one passes from us to
that other shore. Mrs. Cornish was our
friend. We had walked with her In
many of the intimate paths of life, we
had rejoiced with her, and we had sor-
rowed with her, and in the bouyancy of
her spirits, nothing seemed SO foreign
to her as death. We had seen her in
every other part of llfe's drama bnt
this,and for this she seemed 80 untitled.
Her ready wit and humor contained no
sting, her quick repartee made many a
merry hour for US. A generous loving
spirit-one in which firm justice was
but one of many admirable qualities
is standing before its Maker for judg-
ment. Loving hands have borne her
body tenderly to its last resting place,
and we have lost our friend. "The gay
will laugh, the solemn brow of care
plod on and each one az before pursue
his favorlte phantom" but enough years
Will never pass that this memory of
our pleasant acquaintance with Mira.
Cornish will leave us.
Eflie, the daughter of Christopher
and Marie Post, was born in Wyoming
county, New York, in the month of
October, 1896. In May, 1868, she was
united in marriage with Horace Mel
son Cornish, and to Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
nish were born two children, boy and
girl. The husband and daughter
preceded Mrs. Cornish home, whence
her spirit too took flight, after week
OF bitter illness, Wednesday morning,
May 9th. With the son, Fred E.
Cornish, community of friends are
mourning over the death of this gentle
kindly woman, his mother. May the
union Of sorrow prove sustaining
sympathy to him in his loss.
The funeral services were held at the
Cornish home Friday afternoon, Rev.
Mrs. Crum Of the Universalist church
delivering beautiful tribute to the
departed life. Interment was in the
Manchester cemetery, the order of the
Eastern Star of which Mrp. Cornish
was valued and helpful member, hay

Also all contained the spores of ba-
