criticized, she was devoted christian.
and daily observed her christian duties,
Blessed are the dead VINO die in the
Lord" Grandma's s earthly sufferings
were ended February. 8, 1909; she had
attained a ripe old age being nearly
86 years of age. Scarce ten months ago
her beloved companion was taken from
her, and now she has gone to rejoin
him where there will be no parting.
May each and every one of US emulate
their example. and so live that all may
be united in heaven.
