ago she and her husband resided at
Graniteville, Mr.. Walsh being Treas
urer of the Syenite Granite Company.
l had the honor of her acquaintance
and never met a more cultured, in
telligent and amiable lady. Her heart
was good to all the world, and strife
and envy shrank from before her
presence. The taking of such a help
meet from man leaves him poor in
deed, and my first thought is of him
who must henceforth travel life's rug
ged way alone. Yet he has her bless
ed memory to cheer him-THAT the
Grim Reaper cannot gather from the
bereaved husband. l tender him my
sincere sympathy.
