devoted husband and children and
ever attentive sisters, the end came

man, wife and mother, crossed over
the river into the land that Is fair

the final call to come up higher. A
period of invalidism extending over

she had rallied, and renewed hope
in her faithful attendants that she
might still surmount all trials. Tired
nature, however. gave up the un-
equal contest, at last, and it must

and crown of everlasting life await

parture, for she would be watching
and waiting for them at the heaven
