I CRUZEN.-Mary, wife of Samuel
Cruzen, departed this life August
3, 1912, at 1880 p. M, aged 49 years
10 months and II days. The death OF
this good woman is unusually sad
as she was sick but one short hour
and passed away ere the near neigh
bors or the physician, who were i'm
mediately summoned, could reach
the scene. She knew she was going
to die, but was conscious and com
planned of severe pain about the
heart and suffered from smotherins
and hoarse breathing. She asked t
be forgiven, said the Lord would take
her home; spoke few words in re
gard to her sons, and soon, without {
spasm or tremor, the spirit took its
fight. Here is a home broken ant
made desolate by this sudden blow
land the bereaved husband, and sons
William, George and Liebert, have
the sympathy of multitude oil
, friends in this sad hour, and with
them mourn that she is not.
OF the three Graces, the last would
most certainly apply in this case, fol-
a more charitable and kindly and one
ever ready to do a neighborly deed
lis not often seen. In sickness, il
need, in the day of distress, she was
the Good Samaritan TO be first to the
rescue, and never went empty handed
where aid was needed. This trait
she possessed in a marked degree
from a child and with a heart soft
with pity for the suffering of man
kind or dumb creature. If, as is said
l"Charity covereth a multitude of sins.
/ it will certainly go a long way in this
, case. We, who have known the de
ceased from earliest infancy, speak
as one having authority" and give
this sincere tribute to our departed
friend and neighbor, and hesitate not
lin the praise that is due the estim
able wife, the loving, faithful mother
the kind, affectionate sister and
friend, she has always proven herself
to be.
