Our community was greatly shocked by
the passing away Of Ella H. Tomlin, wife
of Walter L. Tomlin, on Saturday morn
ing at $50, in the thirty-sixth year of age
Her illness began on Wednesday, April 81,
with gathered ear and eliminated with
an abscess at the base of the brain. For
many years she has been an active member
of Mickleton Grange, also Of Pomona, and
through these relations many of her warm
est friendships were formed. She lived and
loved intensely, had keen sense Of humor
and contributed largely to the enjoyment of
any circle of which she became member
The bereaved husband has the deepest SYM
pathy of all who knew their happy home
life and bright prospects for the future. To
an unusual degree their interests and tastes
were identical The little fatherless,
motherless boy taken into their home four
years ago found in her full compliment of
the mother love of which he had been de-
prived The funeral held Tuesday after
noon at the home of her husband was large
ly attended. John ]. Cornell, Of Baltimore,
Md, spoke impressively and sympatheti-
cally on the lesson of the hour. Rev. j. Y.
Burke read the Episcopal burial service.
ssThere are no good-byes in heaven was
sung, and Rachel NJ. Lippincott spoke
briefly but feelingly:
Gas guest who may not stay
Long and sad farewells to say
Glides with smiling face away,
OF the sweetness and the zest
OF thy happy life possessed
Thou has left us at thy best.
Now that thou hast gone away,
What is left of me to say
Who was open as the day.
Keep for us, o friend, where'er
Thou art waiting, all that here
Made thy earthly presence dear.
