hephews. with whom she had made her
home Miss Lou was a bright light in
the home. She was a consistent member
OF the Methodist Church. 1t is sad to
think that one whose whole life had
been devoted to acts of charity and
Kindness should so suddenly be called off
of this stage of action. But the will of
Him who doeth all things we'll is not to
be questioned.
