OBITUARY.

Mrs. Nora Howell departed this
life Monday night at II o'clock, April
%, 1912, at her home in Holland,
with congestion, after a three-days'
illness. She was AZ years of age,
true Christian lady, was loved by her
associates, and will be greatly missed
in the church and Sunday school.
She was kind, sympathetic anil al
ways ready to lend helping hand
to the sick or distressed. Besides her
immediate family, she leaves a moth
err, three sisters and two brothers,
who are grieved to part with her, and
to give her over to the cold arms of
death, but to those bereft we extend
our sympathy, and while you are
grieved think of her as sleeping "a
sweet and peaceful sleep from which
none ever wake to weep"
The vacant place, the empty chair,
We see them day by day;
And oh, it fills our hearts with care
