On the morning of May 22nd Mrs Rosanna
Cilley, wife of Laureston C. Ciiley of Brooks,
passed to the higher life after long illness
and most severe suffering. The deceased was
born in Monroe April S, 1860. the daughter of
Noah D. and Ezada (Sprague) Sargent. She
was educated in the schools of her native town
and made her home there until her marriage,
since which she had resided in Brooks, Later
she obtained musical education both vocal
and instrumental, and taught classes in music
until failing health compelled her to abandon
it. She and her husband were converted to
the religious life many years ago and became
m embers of the Christian Church in Monroe,
an organization no longer in existence. Later
tn ey united with the Congregational church in
Brooks. Kindness of heart, a sincere and I'M
affected devotion to her friends and family,
we're perhaps the most prominent character
istics of the deceased. With these COM
bined persistence and energy in performing
the duties of life. During her long and dis
tressing illness, with several severe surgical
operations she was most tenderly cared for by
her husband and every thing possible was don9
her husband she is survived by three brothers,
Simon Sargent, Noah T. Sargent and George
Sargent, all of Monroe In accordance with
the wishes of the deceased the funeral services
at her late home were very simple, the Kew.

in:the new cemetery in Brooks.
The mystery which we all shall know
Why mortals have to suffer SO
Will no longer be concealed
But all the hidden things revealed.
Then we shall know upon that day
There surely was no other way
Joys eternal, peaceful rest.
Gods ways surely are the best.
Poor suffering soul we now rejoice
That you obeyed the Saviour's voice
He's called you from this world of sin
Where everlasting joys begin.
