being a member of the Universalist

an incurable disease fastened upon
her and she was unable to go outside
| of her home only at irregular inter

an invalid for nearly 80 years and at
times a great sufferer, she bore her
sufferings uncomplainingly and always
had a pleasant smile and kindly greet
ing for the many friends and neigh
bors who sought her home. The poor,
worn body has surrendered its spirit
| to God, who gave it, but her memory
will be enshrined in the memory of
her friends forever She is survived
