the beloved wife of Ohio Greene, aged
As years
Sad indeed, when death that mighty
se.crer of true hearts visits the home OF
love, and bears away its one depending
spirit. Sad it is to wander there alone
to feel its blow and bear its bitter burden.
Bitter indeed to feel the need of gentle
consolation, and miss the voice, he ever
trusted and ever true. Yet such is God S
decree and to it we must bow in humble
submission and with Christian spirit,
yet oh Lord it is hard to say, Thy will
be done"
A true and sincere friend, a kind,
thoughtful and loving wife has been
taken from our midst, one, in a word,
who believed in and practiced the Christ
ian doctrine, do unto others as you
would that others should do unto you"
thereby leaving monument before
which fond husband bows not alone in
agony of grief and alteration, but is
grouped with friends unnumbered, and
to her unknown to praise the life that is
departed and profit by its virtues. MAY
she rest in peace. FRIEND
