MRS. MARY CLARK.
In the death of Mrs. Mary Clark and
daughter Emeline, of Middletown, not
only the immediate family, but also the
friends and neighbors have sustained
loss which has not its counterpart with
in the recollection or our community.
They were both lovely chara cters.
This was an example of that beautiful
confidence which should. but often does
not, exist between mother and daugh-
ter. AS was remarked by our pastor at
the funeral of Mrs. Clark, "She was ca
pable, faithful and patient"
The same virtues were characteristic
of the daughter. Always at their post.
Always diligent in every good work.
Neither waited for sickness to make
them ready for death, but long ago
with all the promise of long life, their
hearts were given to their Master. So
while lying on beds of pain they had
nothing to Go but wait for the change
which will surely come to all, and may
suddenly come to some.
Their last sickness was contracted at
the bedside of the aged father and
grandfather, and although every thing
was done which love and skill could de-
wise, the mother was first taken, aud
while sorrowing friends stood over Eme-
line hoping almost against hope that
she would be spared, she too in less than
week passed away.
The family has the sympathy Of the
en- tire community. While we feel this
loss keenly we are not forgetful that iu-
tense beyond comparison is the sorrow
around the desolate fireside, where the
places Of these loved ones will ever be
found vacant May we all live sc that
we may be reunited at the marriage
supper of the Lamb.
