IN MEMORIAM.

1t is once again the grim reaper,
death, has visited our little town and
claimed as its own, the life Of our dear
friend and neighbor, Mrs. Lourissie
Cain.
She was born March 18th, 1912, and
died May 9th, 1915
Aunt Rissie-as we all know her
was good, kind and sweet woman.
She professed faith in Christ at the
early age Of sixteen years, and joined
the Baptist church. She was true
christian and was never happier than
when helping others. To know her
was to love her.
She was married to VIM. j. Cain in
1870. He prededed her to the grave
twenty nine years ago. To this union
was born one son, Charley, who still
survives, besides one step-daughter.
Mrs. Necie Clark, Of Rosiclare, ILL.,,
five grandchildren, Muriel, Reed. Syl-
van and Newton Clark and Mrs Maude
f'ritts, Of Marion. and four great
grandchildren, Herbert, Edwin, Ken
meth Fritts and Carrolton Clark.
Aunt Rissie was as we'll and hearty
on Wednesday as she ever was in her
life, and was found dead in the yard
Thursday morning, by q neighber.
She was all alone, her son being in
Ridgeway, ILL.,. where he had been at
work, for about four weeks. She had
been bothered with heart trouble for
several years.
Mrs. Cain was a true loving mother,
friend and neighbor; she loved her
church, and could always be found
there, when well. She was the
light OF the home dis
pelling all sadness with her kind
words and bright smiles and made all
feel welcome who entered the sacred
precints.
She has left dear friends and rela-
tives for little while only
to meet them bye and bye in the
beautiful beyond. She has closed her
eyes on earthly scenes only to open
them with enraptured viSion amid the
splendors OF Heaven. Dear children,
DO not mourn for your sweet beloved
mother. you know she has gone TO the
beautiful home in the great beyond.
Her earthly life is ended. The sweet
voice you loved so much. is hushed in
death. In the light Of eternity your

may have learned more in these few
days. than in her earthly life. Chill

and seepter only to wave the palms Of
