MEETS AT FREDERICK
Fine Program Prepared. Mrs. Thomas
Passes Away. Church Services Well
Attended Last Sunday.

A beautiful Easter service was held in
the NJ E. Church OH Sunday morning
The church was tastefully trimmed with
cut flowers and potted plants, and the
children were splendidly trained for the
occasion. The singing was spirited and
the musical part of the program was one
of the best we have ever had. All the
children did we'll. especially the primary
tots. The collection also was good.
1 On Sunday evening, April 9TH, Mrs.
/ Abagail Thomas passed away at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Macklin,
of this town. She had long been an in
valid and a great sufferer, but her faith
in God never weakened, but grew stronger
and brighter as the end approached, and
her voice was often lifted in praise and
song while on her bed of pain. She is
at rest, and her life and Christian eXam-
pie are left to be remembered by her
children. 1t seems a strange coincidence
that her brother, John Coverdale, of near
Bowers, should also pass away the same
night at the home of his son, John Gov
erdale, Jr. He had been in his usual
good health, when he retired about ele
ven O'Clock on Sunday evening, and
when called by the family on Monday
morning, he was discovered dead in his
bed. He had apparently died without
struggle, while asleep as his face had a
peaceful expression and the bed clothing
was not disarranged. A joint funeral of
the brother and sister was held on We'd
nesday afternoon at Barratts' Chapel,
Rev. G. W. Bounds officiating. A large
concourse of relatives and friends were
present. H. +. Mitten directed the fun
eral. Mrs. Thomas was about seventy
nine years of age, and Mr.. Coverdale was
eighty-four. Interment was made in
Barratt's Cemetery.
On Monday the Junior Class of the NJ.
F. Sunday School were given an egg
hunt. Mrs. Bounds had dyed and de-
corated a hundred eggs, which were hid
den around the play ground at the school
house. Such a merry scramble as they
had in the search. Harry Werley secured
the Easter rabbit, and Lillian Postles Sc
cuped the largest number of eggs.
