Passed from earth to Paradise
on the 28th of December, 1902, Mrs.
Edith McRae Stout, beloved wife
Of Mr.. j. G. Stout and only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. McRae.
For several years Mrs. Stout had
been confined to her house suffer-
ing with a disease that slowly
worked its way until death gave
relief. Her life, always beautiful,
was made more beautiful by the
example of patient, resignation
and trust she exemplified during
her long illness. And when the
time came we knew that faith and
obedience had done their work
and that her soul was prepared
to "depart and to be with Christi
in the "balm breathing garden of
God" Her body was carried by
her sorrowlng loved ones to her
old home at Franklin, La, and
there buried, to rest until that glad
hour when soul and body united
again shall rise with all who sleep
in Jesus to be forever with the
Lord. "She cannot come to us
but we can go to her." Hence,
while her death was full of hope
our life may also be filled with
hope of future reunion if only we
will learn the lesson she hath
taught. "God hath given his be-
loved Sleep" ***

Rev. Father Forge, of Lafayette,
assisted by Father Bardi as dea-
con, and the parish priest of

and Beauvin were also present, as
also a committee of six members
from the local branch of Catholics
Knights of America. The body,
which had lain in state in the
church for several hours, was in
tered beneath the sanctuary.
Father Ponchon was a native of
Lyons, France, but came to this
country when but a young man.
He was sanity man, and his
virtues were many. He died as he
had lived, in submission to- the
DEGREES of an everything Provid-
ence. He was exactly 63 years
old.
