This afternoon (Tuesday) Mrs.
Mead, mother of Walter and Miss May
Mead and very well known as Grand
ma Mead, was mercifully relieved Of
her suffering and taken Home where
there is no pain.
Mrs. Mead had been i'll for more
than a year with dropsical trouble;
and her sweet patience, hoping for
the better. finally became resigna-
tion, and when the final call came
Grandma WAS eager to go. Sunday
she laid her tired, white head on her
folded arms, and, resting her arms
on little table near the bedside, she
apparently went to sleep. She stayed
in this position and in a semi-stupor
until Tuesday morning, when DR..
White was called, and he placed the
dear soul in a reclining position on
her bed. and few hours later Death
found her and sealed her eyes and lips
with peace
Mrs. Mead's life, while among us,
has been most lovely example OF
patience and fortitude. At any time
she was ready and willing to obey
the Masters call: but, on the days
when she felt pretty well, hope
stirred strongly within her and she
! felt that perhaps she might be spared
for years with her loved ones. Miss
May Mead gave her mother the most
untiring devotion and care, spending
long days and sleepless nights at her
bedside, longing for the time when
her dear mother would find surcease
/ from pain and yet dreading the time
when mother would be gone forever.
The bereaved brother and sister
have the sincere sympathy of the en-
tire community, and Miss Mead es-
l pccially has the admiration always
called forth by faithfulness and sac
riiicial devotion.
