days previous. little did they think that
the attack would prove fatal. Some two
years ago. Mrs. Moscript was the victim
of a stroke of paralysis. since which time
she has been in poor health, but the tam
ilv and friends have tried to believe that
her condition was improving from week
to week, and that her ultimate recovery
was but the question of short time.
When the second stroke came las; week,
even the most sanguiue were compelled
10 admit that the end was near and that
their hopes were useless.
Mrs Moscript was most iovable char
acter aad counted her friends by her
acquaintance. Being OF a mCs, retiring
disposition, she was heart and soul bound
up in her domestic life, devo;ing her
hours to her faBily. not ou1mittiug to
surround herself with friends who attested
to her true worth by giving their best
store of love in return for her many good
Offices. The entire community will feel
her loss keenly but only III a small NE -
ure compared 10 that of those OF the inn
mediate family who have long looked 10
her as wife, mother, counselor and friend.
