IN MEMORIAM.
ELyA MAY LURYEY.

Although the friends of Elvs had long
known that she could not recover her
health, yet her death, which occurred at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Eldora Hig-
gins, April u, came as q sad surprise, as
not many knew that she had been gradu-
ally failing during the winter.
She made no complaint, but had lived
by herself in her old home, refusing to go
to the places open to her, fearing to be-
come burden, until she felt the sands of
life were nearly run when she consented
to go to the sister with whom she had
often visited, where in less than two
weeks the death angel claimed the gentle
girl.
After her mothers death more than
dozen years ago, Elvie went to Wsltham,
Mass, to live with her married sister, Mrs.
Agnes Delaney, where she remained until
her health failed a few years since. A
weak heart and symptoms of the linger-
ing consumption that had taken her
mother and brothers gave warning of the
sad fate impending.
Elvie was bright, courageous girl, and
with CheerIul IorIlLuuS bofS HSE iTeluSht
spells of pain and WEAKNESS, and after she
came to her old home here seemed to
rally and improve in health.
She enjoyed her visits to her friends,
and was always busy with light needle
work, until the time drew near for the
severing of earthly ties.
Her last days were full of suffering, pa
tiently borne, for she felt that she was
being cared for with tender love.
"God hath marked each snrroxi L day
AM nuiniA rel every secret tear;
Aud heavut'- iins age of bliss shalt pay
For all Hi chil irn ~ iIer here"
The funeral services were held at the
