indicate that she would enjoy
many more years of life. On
Thursday evening as with the
other members of the family she

the best of spirits, laughing and
chatting most buoyantly. Her
husband becoming sleepy, went
off to bed, and went to sleep;
consequently did not hear her
come. The next morning he got
awake, looked out of the window,
saw it showing, and remarked to
his wife, I'VE are going to have
another stormy day." She made
no reply. He spoke to her again
and not getting a reply, placed
his hand upon her brow, and
found that she was cold-in death
