Mrs. Cora Patrick Wilson.

After an illness covering many weary
months, on Saturday afternoon the
spirit of Mrs. Cora Patrick Wilson was
released from it's frairtenement of clay
and winged its flight into that great be-
yond to meet and receive the reward
promised to the pure, the true and the
faithful. During the bra, e struggle
against the Unsuitable malaoy there was
at all times that patient, uncomplain-
ing disposition which had characterized
her life, and while she preferred to live
and real her little family and console
and comfortsthem and her husband, she
was not afraid to meet the inevitable
and the closing of her life was full of
peaceful resignation and the confiding
hope Of the devout christian that there
is an Immortality for the soul and a
happy reunion in the great beyond.
Mrs Cora Patrick Wilson was mar
ried to w. x. Wilson in 1893. To this
union was born six bright, interesting
children, all of whom survive. In the
family circle Mrs. Wilson was an ideal
wife and mother and won through the
gentle influence of her sweet nature and
kindly heart, the reverence due the
pure and unselfish mother whose holy
love encircles and blesses each member
of her family. To her husband and
children she was allthat wife and moth
er could be and received from each that
devotion and affectionate regard to
which she was entitled. As a member
of the Presbyterian church she lived up
to the teachings of the divine Master
and fond consolation and hope in His
rich promises. AS a friend and neigh
Dor she was kind and considerable and
her life was a benediction to all with
whom she was associated.
The fune al services took place Sun
day at moor at the cemetery here where
a large concourse of friends assembled
to pay their last tribute of respect to
the departed friend.
To the bereaved family the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community goes
out in the hour of their bereavement in
which we join.
