MRS STEPHEN CURRIE.

After many months of weary suf-
fering from pulmonary tuberculosis,
Mrs Stephen Currie passed peaceful
ly to the life beyond Sunday morning,
September 4, at the family home of
her son, George o. Currie of Corn
Vile, at the advanced age of II years,
9 months, % days. All was done by
her loving children and kind friends
to stay the relentless hand of death
but God claimed her as His own and
she was fully resigned and waiting
for the Lord to bear her spirit to a
fairer cline where all tears will be
wiped away and she will hear the
welcome words, We'll done thou good
and faithful servant, enter thou into
the Joy of the Lord" Grandma Cur
rie, as she was affectionately called,
embraced the Christian faith many
years ago and conscientiously adher-
ed to its teachings during her life and
her memory will long be cherished
by all who knew her and her Chris
tian example will continue as an in
fiuence counting for righteousness.
She was a model wife, mother and
home-maker, possessing a loving dis
position, kind to all with a word of
cheer for every one. No words can
express the great love that she mani
tested for her husband, who Is in
feeble health Although suffering
very much herself, her constant de-
sire was that her husband should be
cared for and made comfortable.
The deceased leaves to mourn her
loss loving husband and three sons,
Stephen E., of Reno, New, Nehemiah, of
Auburn, Me-, and George Currie of
Cornville, with whom she had lived
for many years and been truly and
tenderly cared for in her declining
years, also two brothers, Isaiah Free
man of New York and Rev. John
Freeman of Nova Scotia, eleven
grandchildren and two great grand
children, beside other relatives and
Currie of Auburn, has been a great
comfort to the Currie family as his
whole being thrilled with love for
mother, and it was he that paid all
of the expenses and all that money
could do was done for mothers COM
fort.
Funeral services were held at the
family residence, September 6. at
l.30 p. M, conducted by Rev. .. NJ.
Chase, who spoke from Revelation
4:1S. Appropriate singing by Mr.. and
Mrs. r. P. Chase by request of the
deceased One favorite selection,
Alone with God" was rendered by
the daughter-in-law, Mrs. G. o. Cur
rie and two grand-daughters. Mrs.
Alma Bishop and Miss Alpha Currie,
and her remains were laid at rest in

Vile beside the precious form of her
great grandchild, Baby Thelma Bish-
op, who died three weeks and four
days previous to dear Grandma Cur
rie's death.
