With joy comes sadness, and the
death of Mrs. Keziah c. Hughes on
last Friday morning has brought sor-
SOW to the hearts of those who knew
her; and to know her was to love her.
The ninety-four years of her life had
been full Of good deeds, OF self-sacri-
fee. ana of toll for others. Out of her
ten children four sons and four daugh-
tiers are still living, and bitterly mourn
her loss. Although so aged she re-
tanned the full use of her faculties IN
til the end, and was reasonably active
until she fell about two weeks ago.
The fall was not hard one, and no
bones were broken, but she did not
recover from the shock, and died from
prostration, in the home of her daugh-
ter. Mrs. VIM. NJ. Myers, where the
funeral was held on last Tuesday
morning at eleven o'clock. The SER
vices were conducted by the Rev.
Isaac 4. Fowler, who paid beautiful
tribute to her worth and the loneliness
of her Christian character. The bur-
ial was at EgIenton Cemetery.
FAREWELL little time and we
Who knew thee well and loved thee
here.
One after one shall follow thee,
AS pilgrims through the Gate of
Fear
Which opens on Eternity,
Yet we shall cherish not the less
The memory of thy tenderness
And of thy clear-eyed sense of duty;
THY generous scorn of all things
wrong
