with patience to the end. She told
her friends that she did no, fear
death and was ready TO 40. Let us
all so live that We can say as the

host OF relatives and friends to
mourn their loss. But their loss is
her eternal gain. Her light will
shine brightly in Heaven. where
there is no parting. sorrow or pain.
During her illness of several
months she was meek as "a lamb
and every word spoken was full of
love.
During the last few months she
realized that she could not recover
and most all Of her talk to her friends
was not TO grieve after her, but to
meet her in Heaven.
Laura, thou was; meek and lowly,
Gentle as the sumner breeze;
Pleasant as the air OF evening.
As it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy gentle slumber.
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou no more our songs shall know.
