IN MEMORIAM.


presents the opening and closing
scenes of one whose life was so
gentle and so kind, that il can be
truthfully said. None knew her bu,
to love her, nor named her but to
praise" Though her name will
never be connected with the fall and
rise OF empires, the clash of strugel.
ing armies, or the downfall of repub-
lies and though her body will be
moulderlng away in the silent
earth, her soul will be basking in the
sunshine of perfect peace and eter
nal happiness. The subject of this
sketch was born Sept. 2, ISss, and
died April 4, 1900, at the residence
OF her son Mr.. ]. A. Wolfe near
here, and was therefore eighty. three
years, seven months and two DAYS
of age. Death is sad at all times,
but bitter indeed is his sting, and
depressing is the afllicton that
follows when the pale boatman
enters the portals of happy home
and rows o'er deaths chilly tide
Mother" yet hours of JOY and
gladness must sometimes be turned
into periods of sorrow and woe.
She was sick for about s weeks,
and bore her sufferings with christian
fortitude, and although all that
human hands. love and kindness
could do was done, surrounded by
loving children and relatives on
Thursday evening April 4, the grim
messenger Death made his appear
ance.
She was the wife of Augustine
Wolfe and lived a constant and
faithful companion to him till his
death about six years ago. To this
union was born five children, three
boys and two girls: w. NJ. of
Bruce,on Mills; J. G.. of Rockville;
l.. II. of Fairchance, Pa; Mrs.
jenkins of Pleasant Valley, and
Mis-. j. II. Walls of Albrights.
Besides these several grand children,
great grandchildren aud legions of
friends and acquaintances are left
to mourn for spirit that has
winged its fight to the Heavenly
Shore, for form and face that is
gone and chair that is made
vacant. Were the power CT poets
ours, words would be inadequate to
express the heartfelt love, the ten
derest sympathy and the boundless
grace we feel for her who we can
never see more, but to know 1--WE
live in hearts we leave behind is not
to die"
She joined the NJ. f. Church IN
early youth, but more than forty
years ago she was baptized as a
member of the Mt. Nebo Baptist
church, obeying the Scriptural in
junction to "remember thy Creator
In the days of thy youth" She
lived faithful and useful member
to the time OF her death, being
always friendly and fraternal with
all other religious denominations.
and maintained an ememplary
christian character and highly con.
sistent religious life until she was
finally called to her reward in
Heaven, where pleasures never end
and love banishes pain.
AS a mother she was afectionate,
considerate and indulgent to a fault,
as a neighbor she took the Bible
Injunction Chat it is more blessed
to give than to receive" IN all its
earnestness. 10 do the Masters
will had been a source OF happiness
to her, but when called to suffer
His will, her submission was com
plete.
On Saturday, April 9th, at two
O'Clock, funeral services we're held
at Mt. Nebo church, and the large
congregation that attended attested
to the love and sympathy manifested
for the deceased lady and sorfowng
relatives. The interment was in
the Mt Nebo cemetery.
Though she is gone, her example
still lives and may it be the beacon
light for the dear ones she most
loved to meet her in that happy
home, from which no soul returneth.
Beautiful toiler thy work all done.
Beautiful soul, into glory gone
Beautiful life with her crown now
won.
God giyeth thee rest
Rest from all sorrows and watching
and fears;
Rest from all possible signing and
tears;
Rest through Gods endless and
wonderful years,
At Home with the blest."
Hudson, w. Va, April r8, 90.
