were brought to her. The deceased. whose
young life which gave such brilliant prom
Use has come to this sudden close, spent
most of her girlhood in this city, where
she went to school. and greatly enjoyed
all the pleasures of society in which she
was ornament Her last school year
spent abroad. Her devotion to her
father and mother, and, in fact. her loyal
ty to every tie of affection and duty made
her a beautiful character and won for her
an extended regard not only of those of
her own age but also of her elders. While

of being thought delicate, and would never
entertain a thought of sparing herself when
the pleasure or comfort of others was
concerned.
Scores of kilograms from friends all over
the country have been received by Mr.
and Mrs. Jones, expressing sorrow in their
great bereavement.
