OBITUARY..

Passed into spirit life, Feb. 9Th, Patience
wife of Martin B. Hunt of Belmont, aget
"A years, 10 months and days. Mrs. Hum
was quite widely known and had many
dear friends who will feel their loss deeply
She had an affectiOnate disposition and
made every one around her hsppy. She
was ever ready to lend helping hand tt
those in distress and give an encouraging
word to the downhearted. She believed in
the love of God and his power to save. Shs
bore her last sickness bravely and passed
away peacefully, leaving to mourn their loss
husband, one daughter, Mrs. Emma Hills
three grandchildren, Mrs. Lenora Wadlin
MIR. Irving Hills, and Miss Nellie Hills
two great grandchildren, Ernest Wadlir
and Bernard Hills, one brother, Mr.. Hiram
Br ewster, and one sister, Mrs. Abbie Mar
riner. Her funeral service was held at hel
late residence Feb. 9th, Rev. c. F. Beebee OF
Searsmont officiating. The floral offerings
were very beautiful. Her remains were in
tered in the South Belmont cemetery.
How shall know thee in the sphere which
keeps
The disembodied spirits of the dead,
When all of thee that time could wither
sleeps
And perishes among the dust we tread?
Will not thy own meek heart demand me
there?
That heart whose fondest throbs to me
were given;
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
And wilt thou never utter it in heaven.
The love that lived through all the stormy
past,
And meekly with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last,
Shall it expire with life, and be no more? !?
Yet though thou wear'st the glory of the
sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved
name,
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle
eye,
Lovelier in heavens sweet climate, yet
the same?
Shalt thou not teach me, in that calmer
home,
The wisdom that learn SO i'll in this
The wisdom which is love-till become
Thy tit companion in that land of bliss?
Again the silent messenger has entered
our grange and taken loved sister and
charter member, Patience Hunt She passed
away after useful and well spent life
Sister Hunt labOred earnestly and most sue
cessfully for the good of the order as long
as She was able to attend.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to the sor-
rowing relatives and friends, for we can
realize how keenly this sad blow falls upon
them. The memory of her will ever be
sweet and soothing balm which will calm
their aching hearts in this hour of sorrow,
and after the journey of life is over how
sweet it will be to meet in that happy home
where there will be no more separation.
Her life work is ended.
Her spirit from earth hath flown.
Gone to- join the beloved daughter,
Who'll greet her in heavenly home.
Our hearts are filled with grief
For the one We'll see no more.
God has called her home
To rest, to rest for ever more.
Soon the barren hills will blossom with
spring time beauty, but to her has come the
eternal summer. On the black -draped ca
ket rested crimson flowers, an emblem of
sorrowing hearts in our order; beautiful
pinks and roses, tit tokens for her life and
fragrant as the pleasant words she spoke;
but more calm and radiant was the setting
sun OF that life. No more toll, no more
tears, no more sickness, no more death. God
grant the healing balm of resignation may
Oft amid life's busy scenes, may we remem-
ber the home so lately cheerful and happy,
now sad and lonely.
Resolved, While so many of our number
are gradually being removed from our ranks
we bow in humble submission to the divine
will knowing that He doeth all things well.
Resolved, That in memory of our loved
sister our charter be draped in mourning
for 80 days; that a copy of these resolu-
tions be presented to the relatives of the
deceased and spread upon the records of
our order.
