DIED.

MACEY-Laid to rest in Slldell,
La, Tuesday, November 18th, 1911,
H. J. Macy, aged 70 years, native
Of Belgium.
For ten months Mr.. Macy has
been very i'll, so death was not IN
expected. During this long illness
he suffered without complaining.
Twenty years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Macy came to Slidell, and since
that time he has been a trusted en-
ployee of the Saimen Brick & Lum-
Der Company, honest and upright in
every way. He stood high in the
estimation of the firm. The tuner
al took place from his residence, and
was conducted by the Masons with
full Masonic honors. Many beauti-
full floral offerings were in evidence
and among the most beautiful was
handsome design rendered by the
members of the Eastern Star. The
funeral was one of the largest held
| in Slidell in som. time.
All that love and kindness could
do was done to ease the patient
: The love and labor Of a devoted
wife was his. Many true friends
rendered their unfailing assistance
to both the patient sufferer and grie1
stricken wife. To her, the devoted
lonely wife, we extend our deepest
sympathy. Over her life has falleI
the great shadow which only eterni
ty can lift No little children evel
came to brighten the Macy home
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Macy have any,
living relatives. SO Mr.. Macey's deatf
leaves his wife alone-alone as fa1
as our earthly relatives are concern
ed, but there is one who never for
|sakes His children, who extends Hi
nail pierced hands to all that are il
grief. Contemplating those mai
pierced hands, and that beautiful
agonized, suffering face, the thor
crowned head stained with His Grim
son blood, how light our burden
seem, how light indeed compare,
with the burden our savior bore wit
sweetest humility for our sake, an
yet with all His great burden H
too realized the sadness Of death
