A. 0. Anderson, proml 1ent merchant

A delightful wife, mother and home
maker, Mrs. Anderson Was never too
busy nor too engrossed in her own and
her familys interests snc cares, to
take her part in all thet meant the
welfare of her city or It's people, nor
to help others in their Led With a
happy suite and a tender word of en-
couraging sympathy for friend, neigh
Dor or for the stranger at the door,
she was as a cooling spring in the
desert, and brought refreshment to
many who were weak of heart and
mind and soul. In her church work
particularly were her inT piring ener-

asking no recognition of her efforts
but striving for the elev ,tion of man
kind.
So, after a long life Of consecrated
devotion to duty, she has gone home;
gone while her days wee still useful
and pleasant, and before old age had
laid its withering hand upon her, tc
put an end to her great deeds. She
has completed and laid aside the gar

OF immortality. With the term OF
human existence that God allotted her
she did her best, and m ide every mo

gone back; for after all
Our birth is but sleep and a for

The soul that rises with us, our life's
star,
Hath had elsewhere It's setting, and
cometh from afar
Not in entire forgetfuness, nor vet
in utter nakedness;
But trailing clouds of glory, do we
come,
From God, who is our home"
