manhood, honest and truthful. Sincere
and faithful in the performance OF all
his duties. as husband and father, be
left bright example of christian vir-
tues, which he practiced in every state
of life. A patient sufferer in his pro-
tracted illness, died in peace and hsppi-
ness SUR ounded by his dear ones to
mourn his loss. He received all the
blessings Of our Holy Church therefore
be reconciled to the inevitable decree
Of death; TO human hearts tits bitter
pang which only Divine consolation can
soften a convert unto the benediction
Of blessed home where sorrow is un-
known t,He that followeth justice and
mercy will find everlasting life and
glory. By REQUEST.
In sad but loving remembrance Of our

But in our hearts we love her still,
Her memory is as dear today
As on the morning she passed away.
