Aged Wife TO the Grave.

One of the saddest and most pathetic
cases OF the visitation of death occurred
near StraWn, Pa, in Garrett county,
Nd, near the Somerset county line,
when both Mr.. and Mrs. jeremiah
Glass, an aged and God-f fearing couple,
were called away within two weeks Of
each other and were borne to the silent
tomb, sincerely moulned not only by
their family, but also by a large circle
Of friends.
1t would be hard to find words to give
a Just tribute to this sincerely lamented
couple, whose cain and peaceful lives
were spent in doing all the good in their
power for their family, their neighbors
and their God. In every walk of life in
which they We're placed, they did their
duties faithfully and well, and when the
last call, the inevitable doom of ALL
came it found them ready and prepared
to go.

go and these are following in the foot
steps of their parents. -Meyersdale Re-
