DEATH RECORD.
MRS. MARY A. ENGLE.

y
wife of Mr.. Walter Engle. The subject
of this sketch was the twin sister of
Mr.. William d. HOVE, widely known
Justice of the Peace in Garrett, and
born a t n e ancestral homestead
'Hoyesburg," near the popular old
hOstelery, Fort Pendleton. Here upon
the revered grounds of her ancestors.
and border territory between the clash
ing armies of the civil war, passed the
sunny girlhood of Mrs Engle's life. At
the termination of hostilities she moved
with the family of her widowed motht r
to farm in close proximity to Oakland
After seven years in this new home,
she was happily united in marriage to
Mr.. Walter Engle in the year 1879, and
soon after the contamination of this
union she accompanied her husband to
his distant home at Preston, Minnesota,
where twenty-seven years of their mar
ried life was spent, before their return
East to the present abode in Del PARK
This Deer Park cottage embraced the
comforts of well-ordered house, the
seat of undisturbed happiness and warm
hospitality until the sunlight at its door
vanished in the shadow of this sudden
death leaving a bereaved husband to
walk alone the short remainder of the
slope of life solaced by memories dear
to him. The more our poor human
vision is permitted to penetrate the
hidden mysteries of the one tomorrow
in contemplation of the realms of pc ce
the more clearly we lderstand that
There is no DEATH An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loved things away,
And we call them dead"
At the threshold of her early career
Mrs. Engle carefully laid the founda-
ton of her subsequent pure and strictly
regulated life by uniting with the
Methodist church and by keeping the

so winsomely in her happy face as to
attract friends and challenge interest
among all classes. 1t should comfort to
remember that while LIES tide ebbed
away ministrations were tenderly rem
dered by three of her most cherished
friends, Mrs. Oliver B. Jones. wife of
merchant w. c. Jones; Mrs. Rachel E.
Laughlin, and Mrs. Mary C. Hennen,
wife of William w. Hennen, engineer

votedly performed We're exceeded by
immortal intercession mercifully reliev-
ing the dissolution from even an appear
of pain or pang. The fatal stroke came
while she was in her usual health and
lively spirits, and at the beckon Of an
unseen hand the silver cord was gently
loosened for noiseless flight to the up
per realms. Who would alter such an
end-'For so He giveth His beloved
sleep" RELLIM.

NEAPOLIs, MINI.

threshold of the distant Minnesota
farmhouse in April, 1879. to the time
she penned the lines to the undersigned
just before she was stricken with that
fatal malady, she occupied the most
conspicuous place in the hearts Of the
six boys and two girls that composed
the family of the bereaved husband
Our family had been broken up by
the death of our mother, and when the
mother entered it total stranger she

but when she entered love entered,
One of her traits in advancing the hap
piness of her new family was to look
beyond the qualification Of the present
moment and consult their ultimate i'm
provement, requiring all the members
of her household to bear their part
toward that end.
Having borne no children of her own
