Peacefully, as il in sleep, Emily M
Cation passed over the dark river Friday
afternoon at about 4:l5 10 the bright
world beyond. The tired hands softly
pressed those of loving relatives gathered
around her bed; her eyes wandered from
one to another In a last fond look, then
closed in that long sleep which knows
no waking, and her spirit returned to its
creator. Her death was calm ard peace.
full; conscious to the last. She was q
Christian in every sense of the word,
and tried to live up to the teachings OF
the Savior. May her sleep be one OF
peace; and as the years come and go may
her bright spirit watch over and guide
the loved one left behind.

Mountain in company with Mr.. and Mrs.
John Schmith and during the time she
spent here, she received the best OF

death came and ended her suffering.
Her daughter, Miss Mildred, has ever
been a faithful attendant at her mothers
bedside, ever ready to render aid and as.

sutferings.
When it was seen that the end wal
