CRAB ORCHARD

left its tenement of clay for fairer
chimes on last Saturday. She had been
patient sufferer from tuberculosis
for many weary months, and as her
loved ones watched beside her, she
told them many times how we'll all
was with her soul, how very
bright her prospects were for an
eternal rest, where no sickness or
pain can ever come. Her devoted par
ents, sister and brother, who are
heart broken at the parting, are not
grieving without hope, for once again
they may see her radiant in heav-
emily beauty waiting to bid them well
come. The casket was covered with
beautiful flowers and she was laid to
rest in their family lot near Bee
Lick. Our heartfelt sympathy is ex-
tended to them in this great trial.

1t was one year ago last Sunday
since Mrs. Hannah Steger had the
fall breaking her left hip bone and
this last Sunday found her able to
walk real well with the aid of a cane.
AS she looked upon the crutches rest
ing in a corner of her room upon
which she depended so long to carry
her, she called to her servant to take
them up stairs and place them out of
sight. She can go anywhere in the
house and has been several times in
the yard and her friends are looking
with hope that the day will soon come
when the cane will rest beside the
clutches. Mrs. Steger has been a
beautiful example of patience, en-
durance and Christian fortitude in
her long sad trial and is so grateful
to her many friends who wrote her
letters of cheer, as well as to all here
who ministered to her wants.
