o'clock, the birthday of the noble
Washington, (the father of our
country the spirit of the beloved
Mrs. D. H. Milton took its flight to
the bosom of the Father of us all.
The leave-taking of husband, chill
dren and loved ones came after
many weary months of suffering,
bravely born by Christian fortitude
worthy of emulation.
A few minutes before the end,
sweet rest en> eloped the frail body
and halo of Heavenly brightness
seemed to light up the face and she
slept as peaceful and serene as an
infant upon its mothers breast. Mrs.
Milton, no doubt, had seen the ar
rival of the angelic couriefs which
were soon to convey her spirit be-
yond the storm clouds of life, into
! the harbor of refuge and peace
safely into the arms of Jesus, where
there is no suffering nor sorrowing.
but where there is an eternity of
happiness and where she is today
awaiting the arrival of her beloved
companion, who was so kind and
gentle here on earth. and whom she
is now beckoning to join her in the
spirit land
Mrs Milton was an exceptionable
good woman, one who lived to bless
the world-she was a boon of Provi-
dence to mankind, her fame is eter-
nifty, and her influences for good
unlimited. If the Heavens thunder
ed and the earth rocked, yet, when
the storm passed, how pure was the
climate of her life that it cleared,
how bright in the brow of the firm
ament was the planet it revealed to
us. The lightnings of Heaven were
to her a master stroke of the Divine
and the temptations of earth could
not corrupt or make afraid.
We wish we could adequately tell
of the worth of such good woman
to humanity, and in what admiration
we held her. For nearly twenty
seven years we have known Mrs.
Milton, from the age of ten, when
we used to play with, and be treated
like her children, and called her
boy" until this day when we are
called to chronicle her death. We
feel an unusual sadness as these
lines are penned. our eyes are dim
med by the sad thought that such
friend, such a noble woman is no
more on earth. and that the heart
of that grand old man. our life long
friend. and her devoted companion,
is broken-a companionship lasting
over AZ years of beautiful unison
Oh, the sadness of it all! How ten
