Another ripened, sheaf has been
garnered from the q fields of time.
Her going was like the sun going
down in the west. Her day was over
and she had earned her long rest.
Foregleams of that life which is eter-
nal Cheered her parting and made
! light the dark Valley of the Shad-
ow," as she went into the presence
of Him Who told His disciples that
He was going to prepare place for
them, and that there were many
mansions" in His Fathers House.
| A sweet, simple, wholesome, home
loving life has been brought to a close
and she will be greatly missed in the
circle OF those to whom for so many
years she has so graciously minis
/ tered. Gentle and retiring by dis
position she yet left the impress of
her noble spirit upon all who knew
her. The kindest of neighbors, the
most sympathetic OF friends, her
heart and her help went out to the
poor, the distressed, and the needy.
A most loving and devoted mother,
she will continue to live in the lives
of her children made better.
