G.. NARROW, Monroe, Wis. with their
aged father and nineteen grand-child-
rem. She was baptized and united with
the Presbyterian church when only a
child, and remained all her life a firm
believer in that faith and a humble
follower of the Master. AS friend and
neighbor she was respected and be-
loved. In time of sickness or distress
she was ever ready with greetingaoao
she was ever ready with cheering
words and helpful hands. She was
passionately fond of flowers. And al
ways in season her garden was abloom
Many child has been made happy
by the bestowal of Grandma Sails"
flowers. And a beautiful tribute was
paid to her memory by the choice and
fragrant offerings that covered her
Casket. The final summons came very
suddenly to the good woman. She
had been a visitor for some weeks in
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L.
Eversoll, Burton. They were old time
friends and neighbors. She had been
cheerfully helping Mrs. Eversoll about
the lighter house-Work, had made no
complaint of illness, had partaken of
supper and at her usual hour retired.
At eleven o'clock Mr.. Eversoll who
had been up late reading heard an
unusual noise. Accusing his wife they
fastened to the room of Mrs. Sails.
They found her partly risen and strug-
Cling for breath. Placing one hand
over her heart, she gave them one
look of intelligence, and suddenly
ceased to breathe. 1t was known that
she had weakness of the heart. She
herself was aware of her danger, and
had expressed a desire that her pass
ing would be swift. But the sudden
call brought great shock and sorrow
to her children. While they grieve
naturally that none were near to re-
ceive the last look of love from
Mother" they are thankful that she
breathed her last among friends so
kind and dear as the Eversolls, who
rendered all assistance that could be
given.
The suddenness of the demise was
likewise a severe shock to the COM
munity, where Mrs. Sails had long re-
sided and been held in high esteem.
Though advanced in years she was in
possession of full faculties, and re-
tanned the bright intelligence and
pleasing personality that made her an
entertaining and cheerful companion.
The sorrow for the loss and the univer-
sal sympathy for the bereaved family
was manifested by the attendance at
the funeral which was conducted by
Rev. VIM. Harberts at the Presby-
terrain church near the place of inter-
ment. The consoling discourse was
from the text, Take We heed; watch
and pray; for We know not when the
time is" The choir sang, Rock of
Ages" Safe in The Arms of Jesus"
Nearer My God to Thee" favorite
hymns of the deceased. All the chill
dren were present at the last sad
rites except the eldest daughter, Mrs.
Lukens. For the many kindnesses and
much sympathy bestowed in their hour
of sorrow, the children are sincerely
grateful.
Goodnight dear heart goodnight.
Nay let our weeping cease
When morning breaks where cloudleSS
light
Battles the fair hills Of peace.
Close the dear, patient eyes;
Why mourn their fading light?
Her vision sweeps celestial skies,
Where there is not more night"
