O'Clock, Wednesday evening, at her
home North E street, of consumption,
MRS. OLLIE WILLIAMS, aged % years.
Better known as Miss Ollie Berkeley,
of Oskaloo5a. She was taken sick
September last and fingered on until
July 80, when relief came to her suf-
fering. She was laid to rest Friday,
July 81, in Forest cemetery.
Physicians tried their utmost skill
Their efforts were in vain;
Her throbbing heart at last is still,
And she is free from pain.
The old must die, the young may die soon,
Let this be a warning ever,
One so young while in her bloom
Should cross Deaths shadowy river
While her parents bow in deep dispair
Sweet words of comfort to them are given
For it washer daily prayer r
To die and go to Heaven.
Death enters and he does not wait
No earthly power his hand can stay,
The bridal robes are exchanged for crepe
Yet holy and righteous are Gods ways,
It's for thee my tears doth flow
A loving wife snatched from fond embrace.
lis thee who hath felt the bitterest woe
As the casket was lowered in it's last rest
ing place.
And how can we refrain from tears
When one 40 young her debt has paid.
Alas dear sister we loved SO dear
Is In her narrow casket laid.
Hopesare crashed and hearts are broken
Drear our cottage now and lone
