In Memoriam.-Ciara Nichols Church
The death of Mrs. Clara Nichols
Church, which befell Thursday, Aug. 20,
| 1907, removes from our midst one who
was all her life identified with the socie-
ty of Rochester and vicinity and who.
through her companionable ways and
ready helpfulness, had endeared herself
to large circle of friends.
She was born in Rochester tifty-foul
years ago. She was married to John
Church June 25, 1879, and resided in this
and adjoining towns. Five years since
she, with her husband, entered the home
of Miss Jessie Morgan. The friendship
thus formed has grown more deep and
abiding as the years have passed, and the
strength of that friendship only makes
the sorrow at her departure more poign
ant.
For several years her health had not
been firm, but treatment in a hospital at
ter severe illness had seemed to be so sue
cessful that high hopes Of her recovery
were entertained by her friends. An at
tack of apoplexy frustrated these hopes
and in one short week the end came
During these intervals of sickness, the
tenderest ministrations of the home ant
of friends were accorded her.
The sense of loneliness and loss expert
enced by the immediate friends of Mrs
Church, and indeed by all who knew her
gives peculiar significance to these
words, quoted at her funeral
4 s'Tis hard to take the burden up,
| When these have laid liz down:
They frightened all the JOY OF life,
They softened every frown;
