OBITUARIES.
In Mernoriam.

l write with a sad heart of the death
of my grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Scrib-
ner. She fell asleep Saturday MORN
ing, June l, 1907, aged 81 years. She
leaves five children and a host of grand
children and great grandchildren to
mourn her loss. But we ween not as
those who have no hope. We know
she is at rest. To her children we say,
weep not for your dear mother, but
say, ''Sleep on, dear mother and take
thy rest, and some day we'll meet to
part no MORE.
Her bodyNwas laid to rest in the
Chapel graveyard. Oh, how it grieves
my heart to think | can never see her
again in this world. A voice we loved
is still, which never can be heard, a
place in our home is vacant which new
err can be filled.
Her broken hearted rrandchild,
