Identified with the life of the village,
and was an active and consistent
member of the Methodist Church,
where her loss will be deeply felt, as
a teacher in the Sunday school,
staunch member of the Ladies' Aid
Society, and one of the most faithful
in attendance at all church services.

a. one OF their most sympathetic and
helpful friends, always ready to place
her beautiful home and hospitality at
their disposal. Truly has the poet
said, mo life can be pure in its pur-
pose and strong in its strife, and all
life not be purer and better thereby"

that has been lived i'm it, and poorer
for the loss OF that life, which no
more sheds its fragrance here. A
true, devoted wife, tender, loving
sister-the sympathy OF the COM
munity goes out to the bereaved hus-
band and the family, whose hearts are
SO heavy with grief. She is survived
by her husband and and sisters, Mrs.
Gartrell, Mrs. Hipsley and Mrs.
Ffroved, and her brother, Mr.. Earle
