Communicated
Esther A. Bartholomew Sain born
in Reading, Michigan, April 25, 1S49,
died in LOOMS November 10, 1912, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. P.
Decent. She lay on a sick bed since
December 1911, stricken with paral-
ysis. We laid her body to rest in the
cemetery at LOOMS Monday, Novem-
Der H. but herself we hope to meet
hn
throne in glory. She was converted
in February, 1911, received on proba-
ton into the LOOmis M. f. church Feb
ruary 18th. and in full connection July
is, 1911. Her life among us was beau
tiful. She grew in grace daily and in
the knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. We will long miss her
from our midst, but our loss is her
gain, gone to be with the Master,
whom she loved, which is far better.
The service was conducted by Rev. r.
Thompson at the home of H. p. De-
cent, at 2 p. M, November II. The
text used by the pastor in his address
was from the Songs of Solomon, GO,
MY beloved has gone down to the
garden to gather lillies." The Lord
comes every now and then to gather
lIOul Ills SdTueu. his IlIlle IL was
lily plucked by the hand of God to
adorn the kingdom and we knew as the
quartet sang that,
Some glad morn not far away
Just beyond this twilight dim,
We shall greet the golden day
With the everlasting hymn.
Heart to heart and hand in hand,
Love shall clasp again her own,
In Gods sinless summer land
Where goodbye is never known.
Some glad day when flowers shall
bloom
Never more to fade and die;
Some glad day beyond the tomb
We shall meet beyond the sky"
She was a member of the Women of
Woodcraft, the Loomis Circle giving
her the last honOrs at the grave. She
was a member of the Unlimited Adult
Bible class of the M. e. church, and of
the Ladies Aid. She leaves a son, So
Ion Sain, of Republic, a daughter, Mrs.
H. p. Decent, of LOOMS, two sisters
in the east. and a grand daughter who
bears her name, Esther Anne Sain, to
mourn their loss. The floral tributes
were many and as they covered the top
of the beautiful white casket it showed
in some measure at least the esteem in
which the departed was held by the
friends of the Loomis NJ E. church.
