IN MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance of our daughter
and sister, Mildred Ella Shreeve, who departed
this life three weeks ago, March 19. 1909.
We miss thee, darling Mildred, since you had to 60
We miss the sweet smile that was thine to bestow'
Our hearts are all sad, our home wrapped in gloom
Since thy dear precious form was laid in the tomb
Oh it pains us to think could not be with thee.
When the death angel came to set thy spirit free
When we had to bid you goodbye and go away
Little thinking of the sorrow awaiting next day
Though thy sufferings were long and thy pains
so severe,
Thy life by af1iction was rendered to more dear
You would not have been strong to face all the
storms
This world presents in many different forms.
If your life had been spared to longer stay,
You would bear sad affiiction day after day;
We must all be contented and glad to know,
Through faith you were so well prepared to CO.
We feel some relief that thou art free from all pain
And also to know that our loss will be thy gain;
Then farewell, our darling, thou hast gone on
before,
We will ali try to meet thee where sorrows are nc
more BY THE FAMILY.

THIRTEEN CARS OF STOCK
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED - CAUSE,

The death of three trainmen and
