to those in need, and always willing to
sacrifice herself for others. She was loved
and respected by all, and almost idolized
by her children and grandchildren, who
deeply mourn her loss. She will be
missed and mourned by many outside the
family circle.
The Sleep of Peace
Why should we call it Death,
This calm sweet sleep of peace.
When the tired head in slumber rests,
And all life's sorrows cease?
This beautiful passing away
From the shadow and gloom ofnight |
Into the glory of Paradise
Cleaning with wondrous light.
'Tis but drifting away from grief
Laying all burdens down.
Setting aside the cross of care
To wear evermore His crown.
Sleep on, sleep on and rest
At the close of earth's weary day.
All call 1t not death but life,
This beautiful passing away.
CARD OF THANKS We wish through the
columns of your paper, to extend our heart
felt thanks TO all those friends aud neighbOTs
who so kindly extended their aid and SYM
pathy during the sickness, death aud bur- al
Of our dear mother; also all those who
the lovely floral offerings for the
funeral. May Gods choicest blessings rest
On you all.-Herbert S. Keller and family,
