were present at the late home to pay
their last respects TO one whom all
loved and respected. Mrs. Luella K.

in her excellent remarks paid this high
tribute TO the deceased
Only a little way,
Down to the brink of the river side,
Then softly follow the rippling tide
Till IL washes the shore on the other side,
only little way.
81 am here today TO perform for my
friend the service that | know someone
will perform for me. To speak n few
words of love, of hope, of consolation,
and to pay but simple tribute to her
worth, although il needs no words of
mine for all who knew her will recall
some gentle act, some kind word, some
golden deed that will ever live in the
hearts of her friends. Our dear one
has answered TO the call of the silent
messenger, who comes unbidden, and
with his sickle keen
Reaps the bearded grain AT breath
And the flowers that lie between.
"Her life reached but little past
MONDAY. But she lived, she loved,
the joys of motherhood and home were
hers, the longest life can hold no more.
[ have known her from early child
hood. AS girl when striving for
an education to fit her for the stern
duties of life, as wife, mother and
friend she showed a true sincerity
characteristic of her nature, when per-
forming even the simplest duties of
life. With tender faithfulness she
discharged her varied duties. She
loved the good and beautiful, and
many are better because of her life.
The bereaved husband is better be-
cause of her companionship; the dear
children have been blessed with a good
mothers love; the lonely father can
take comfort in that he gave To the
world gem of priceless worth-a
noble woman"
"Do what we may to ward off this
mysterious touch that stills forever all
earthly joys, all SORROWS, all strifes,
conflicts and hopes, this hour must
come to all. "
The remains were laid at rest i'm the
Otisco cemetery, by the side of the
little one gone before. The deceased
was a loyal member of the Court OF
Honor, in which she carried a benefi.
ciary policy for $500.
