more, which occurred about eight o..
clock Wednesday evening.
Her sickness was Of short duration,
and many of her friends were not aware
OF it. She was taken SICK on Saturday
and her condition was alarming from
the first, but she had youth on her side
and all felt that she would recover.
But it was not so willed, and our great
loss is her gain
Our whole community mourns, and
she will be missed by old and young
alike, for she was known and loved by
all Having been born and raised among
us her growth from childhood to woman
hood had been watched with loving
interest, and she had just reached ma
turity and at once become most popular
In socia circles as au ardent worker In
the church.
She was bright and sunny in her
home, loving companion for her
mother aud devoted sister and drew
to her, by strong bonds Of affection, the
young people of her set, who gathered
around her as their acknowledged lead
er. Her sincere and gentle disposition
endeared her to all who knew her, and
her cath has taken from rs one who
will not soon be forgotten and whose
place will be hard to fiji.
To her mother, sisters and brothers
and relatives, whose life and light she
was, we extend our deepest, warlnest
sympathy
