since that time she was the thoughtful,
helpful friend SO many others found her
always to be. As an instance of her faith
fulness in whatever she undertook, is the

her sisters husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Goss,
she went to Portland, where she was met
by her son and daughter. 1t was found to
be most serious case and though she
strength failed gradually and she entered
into rest.
Her daughte known to us es "Naillil',
has kindly written me many beautiful
things of her. Our sympathies go out to
her, both for her sad loss and for the
anxious hours Of watchiulness and nurs-

stable of sacrifiee'as she called it--that 1t was
all right with her, whether she ever came out OF
the ether or not, for she said: "You know /
