/ desire to thank those kind friends
who, during the last illness of my wife,
showed such deep sympathy and rem
dered 80 many appreciated services to
her in the hours of suffering. These
acts of kindness and love will ever be
remembered and cherished by me. The
evidences Of sincere friendship shown to
me in my bereavement have given me a
higher appreciation of the beauty and
worth of tender sympathy in the hour of
sorrow. The extreme Kindness of the
members of the Lutheran choir has
greatly impressed me, and for them /
shall ever bear deep gratitude. The
many friends who came from long dis
tances to pay the last sad tribute to the
memory of my beloved wife showed a
friendship and sympathetic feeling so
marked that they will never be forgot

blessings, and when the hour of sorrow
