Cantonment, MAY 31-A sad calam-
ity has befallen this entire commun-
ity in the death of one of our most
esteemed and respected ladies, Mrs.
Claudio Belle, wife of H. o. Wilder,
who, at 1915 o'clock Sunday night,
passed very quietly to the beyond
She was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Y. Z. Norton, of Cairo, Ga She
was born November "A, 1879, and was
united in marriage to H. o. Wilder
December Is, 1896. A kind and loving
husband has been bereft of a true. de
voted and queenly wife. She is sur
vived by four bright children, -EuIa,
aged u years; Joyce, aged 10 years !;
Ona, aged > years. and Roy. aged
years, who will deeply miss the sweet
voice and gentle guiding hand.
A host Of friends mourn her de-
mise. Thus death has made a kind
husbands heart ache. taken his chill
dren'S guide and protector, made a
home lonely and desolate. The Sab
bath school has suffered the loss of
an interested member, and the whole
cOmRlInity mouTns.
Mrs WildeT's health failed rapidly
from Christmas up to her death. She
returned from Mobile last Wednesday
evening. where she had been under
the care of skilled surgeons for three
weeks. and where it was learned that
she was very dangerously i'll. and that
death was only a matter of q short
while. All that tender and loving
hands could do was done for the pa
tient and noble sufferer, and she was
feeling quite a little better on Sun
day and spent a part of the day out
on the front gallery at her home At
night she was resting so we'll that the

But her bright life closed rather un-
expectedly and very sudden. when her
nurse. Mrs. Peters, noticed the change

1t is not surprising that the gifted
inventor of such classic imaginative
nonsense as ''The Jumblies" and The
Owl and the Pussy Cat took a keen
delight in the real nonsense OF real
life whenever he CHANGED to encoun-
ter it. During a doleful stay in a
dreary little mining village where it
rained all the time and he was not
we'll and could not accomplish the
work he had set his heart on doing
the late Edward Lear. although a
good and decorous churchgoer, found
his source of cheer in the parish clerk.
'Oh, beloved clerk he wrote crate
fully to a friend. He reads the
psalms enough to make you go into
fits. He said last Sunday. AS white
