why he kept him. How sweet one line
OF favorite hymn that reads, Some
day, some time, wen understand" Mr.,
Lane was OF a cheerful disposition, al,
ways making friends, and could pass a
social with strangers as we'll lie was
an honest citizen, affrcuonate husband
kind father, and left large family of
children who will soon follow him and
Just think Of that family reunion in
Heaven, The next from our association
was Sister Addie Cutler Fuller. ! recall
two years ago when I was preparing my
paper for the reunion she visited me and
asked me TO read ii 10 her, and she said
how wish someone could say such Kind
words OF me when / am gone but they
can't for 1 have never done anything
worth noting. And now she has gone,
what shall | sayY Her heart was warm
to work for others, but poor health pre-.
vented. She could scarcely care for her
own household. She was so discouraged
years before she was called to 20 and in
her last sickness she wished they might
let her 90 and not ask her 10 stay. Her
children were reared to manhood and
womanhood and she felt her work was
done here, and she wanted to rest. And
now her husband and children can think
of her\a an angel peacefully at rest
with bright stars in her crown, waiting
Heavens gate 70 welcome them, and now
am going 70 write about mother, bet
ter known to most OF you as Aunt Dame.
| could write pages Of good things about
Mother, for | know her so well, but for
fear some of you might think me sci.
iish or parcial will say. 1t seemed sad
to take her for she could see SO much
brightness in this cold world. No mat
ter who she met or where she was, the
atmosphere was filled with sunshine.
But wnen her strength failed and her
turn came to 60, and after such long
weary weeks OF suffering and each seem
ed TO us just the same until at last we
knew we must give her up, ! said to
my husband, Don't he selfish; let her
20 willingly, Tor you have enjoyed her
many years and she has more awaiting
her there than here" Uncomplaining
and patient during her long sickness, she
retained her reason to the last, and that
was such comfort to her children, and
they were ready and willing to say good
bye, mother, and 1 think they were re-
ioiced when her spirit took its fight,
for they knew she was through her suf-
fering. The next to chronicle is the
death Of Lucy Ann Moses Mclaughlin.
Mrs. Mclaughlin was a stranger to me.
/ was obliged to ask about her, and
from each | received nothing but words
OF praise, and said she was one of
thousand: willing to give up what would
have been enjoyment for Others to care
for those who needed her most. You
can recall her carly days and think OF
her caring for her invalid sister. | heard
the remark that she assisted her every
Sunday to church in the old Cutler Cor
ner schoolhouse, as there was no church
editiee there. and il seemed pleasure
to her rather than a burden, and later
on she was satisfied and perhaps pre-
ferred to remain near her old home, for
she lived all her life just over the hill,
and Mr.. Mclaughlin was heard to re-
mark since her death she had built her
monument caring for his little nephew,
and l think this proves We are so much
happier working for others. Then let us
push on and not be selfish, caring for
whenever and wherever we can, and at
last we can sing, Oh, how sweet when
God has made his rubbish pile complete.
We have remembered all with flowers
and received a note of thanks from each.
BY mistake the death of George Bas-
sett was omitted and the committee
wish to apologize for not sending flowers,
as the flower committee failed to know
he was member.
