Miss MarYetta Earnum

Miss Maryetta Farnum was born in
the town of Merrimack on February
Is, 1854, and died May 20, 1917.
Her fathers name was Dexter Farm
UNI, and she lived with the family ON
the farm until about ten years ago,
whe they moved into the village of
Merrimack, where her father died in
1911, her mother having passed away
when they moved into the village Of
earlier.
The deceased was Familiarity known
by the name of Eta among her very
large circle of acquaintance. She
possessed very friendly, loving ma
ture and endeared herself to everyone
by her genial, pleasant manner. Ev-
cry home gave her a cordial welcome,
where she always carried sunny
smile to accompany her humorous re-
marks and ever-readys repartee.
For many months she endured in
tense suffering with Christian forth
tude. Her last hours were peaceful
and marked by most filial trust in
her Saviour her last audible words be.
ing: "Dear Jesus, help me through
the dark river" Soon after she fell
into a gentle slumber in which her
weary spirit took it's flight to the
beautiful land beyond the clouds.
Everyone feels that good friend has
gone from our midst, and, though sin
cere sorrow pervades the community,
one and all realize that the departed
soul is now enjoying well deserved
reward,
The Rev. Clarke, pastor Of the M,
E. church, spoke words Of comfort to
the sorrowing friends from the ninety
first psalm, which was her favorite
scripture passage. The choir sang
very appropriately Some Time Well
Understand" "God Will Take Care
of You" and SIN the Sweet BY and
By"
The immediate relatives remaining
are Miss Myrta Farnum, a sister, Will
liam Farnum, half-brother, and Mrs.
Roxie Farnum, her step-mother.
These were indefatigable in their
efforts to alleviate the pain of the
sick one. Day and night they were
unremitting in their tender care.
| The remains were inferred in the
cemetery at Kerns Corners, with 9TH
er members of the family.

MODERNWOODMEN
HOLD MEMORIAL

The Modern Woodmen of. America
held their memorial services Sunday
About one hundred members left the
hall at $50 and were conveyed to
the cemetery in autos, there being
about twenty-five cars in the process
sion. Services were held at the Gem
ieterF;G. w. Andrews having charge,
and each Modern Woodlands grave,
to the number of forty-one, had
placed on it basket of flowers.
] After the services at the cemetery
the Woodmen returned to the hall,
where they were met by the Royal
Neighbors, and all marched to the
Congregational church, where Rev.
J. Lloyd Smith, who is member of
the Modern Woodmen, gave me-
mortal sermon. He used as his text
the following:
"And Samuel died; and all the
Israelites gathered themselves togeth-
er and lamented him." Sam. 25:1.
Theme, "The Prudent Mans Cues
tion."
Every consideration of prudence
and sound wisdom suggests the i'm
portance of the question, "When I
am called away from 1ife's feast and
my seat is vacant, will I be missed -
Mr.. Smith said in part:
Personal dignity and self-respect
require preparation for the end of
life. The wise man will sow seeds
of kindness and good will that will
ripen into harvest of happiness and
affection when the great reaper
comes. A man may say he does not
care what his fellows think of him,
but he knows that is false; for there
never lived one who was SO self-sutfi-
cient that he was not stung by unjust
criticism or ingratitude for noble
service, nor one who was not comfort
ed by the recognition of disinterested
labor. srE il
Over against those who work for
themselves early and late and all the
time and who are little missed and
not remembered are the disinterested
lives which are like springs in the
desert.
The soul journeys forward with full
power to pour happiness like sun
shine down upon it's fellows or to
spread gloom and darkness upon the
earth. 1t is not enough that man
shall not be bad. A field may have
no weeds in it, but the owner will
starve Morality is not enough; NOR
atty cut the weeds of sin and there
religion with it's positives of hope and
love and self-sacrifice and service be-
gins. ,..s
zone World at a Time" is a lying
proverb Eternal life began at your
birth and the episode of your physi-
cal death has nothing to do with the.
eternal life that you are now living.
Every consideration admonishes us
to get ready for the end Of this earth
ly career. Be not bankrupt in heart
treasures, but be rich toward God,
then some will say when your insur-
ance policy comes due, "How poor
earth seems since he has gone"
The choir led by Mrs. Smith gave
several appropriate numbers during
the morning service.
