Mrs. Browns life was rich in Its
strength Of influence in her home and
among the many friends whom her at
tract1Ve and kindly spirit won whereV-
er she was known. She was indeed a
woman in whom the heart of her hus-
band could safely trust and her child
rem rise up and call her blessed. She
not only had many friends in her own
community by reason of her attractive
interest and participation in the Con-
gregationa1 church of which she was
a member and in other associations of
the community life, but through the
public lips of her husband she was
brought into touch with many outside

large number of these viii feel a sense
of personal loss.
Sucn lives have a power and inSpira-
ton that cannot be estimated The
world is the richer for them and the
fragrances Of the sweet flower of a
fraL vase which held it has been
broken.
The family will have the deepest
sympathy from their large circle of
friends and acquaintance.
