She was a true eacher, had care
fully prepared herself for the bust
ness of teaching. Knew something
to teach, how to teach it, and had
the grace of pleasant, painstaking,
character full personality that en-
abled her to do her assigned work
efficiently. Her place will be hard
to fill, in fact, her particular place
cannot be filled, in the thoughts and
affections of the many scores of chill
dren who lisped their little lessons
from her lips, recited to her in
higher grades, and now doubtless
are beneftting greatly from her in
structions and wholesome example
many there be, doubtless of these
who for years to come, will speak
her praise and revere her memory.
Mrs. Lawler was a power for good
in the community. She was in SYM
pathetic touch with all classes and
helped them in various ways as OPP
portunity afforded, by a kind word
or loving deed. AS | knew her, she
was a faithful member to the vows
and obligations of her church, but
she was not narrow in her Christian
ity, other Christians welcomed her
among them. Certainly | admire her
for her gentle manners and womanli-
ness at all times, for her disposition
to encourage and help any strug-
Cling, ambitious young person who
sought to improve himself or herself
in life, and for the willingness she
always showed toward helping any
progressive enterprise that would
make for the good of the community.
But she is gone and she will be
sorely missed. | am sure there are
many especially about Martin, her
home, who will share her loss, as l
shall so far away, but let us all thank
God for the lesson from her SEEM
ingly short, but well filled useful life.
that we may win justly the good
will of our fellowman, and also the
well done" of Him who doeth all
things we'll. Peace to her ashes;
comfort to her relatives and friends.
| regret / cannot be present as a
mark of respect to her memory, but
it is impracticable for me to do so.
Sincerely,

TENDER REGARDS TO FRIENDS,
AND KIND REMEMBRANCE OF
THE CHOIR, OF MRS. FANNIE
NJ. LAWLER.
You are gone departed friend,
Although not our desire;
Many years elapse since you began,
AS organist of our choir.
/ And you have been a modern Paul,
You have fought the battle through;
But now have answered to the call,
That come and summoned you.
On frosty, cold and frozen peaks,
Your footsteps were heard to tread 4;
But now no more our welfare seek,
You are numbered with the dead.
With sorrowing hearts we mourn for
you,
We will miss you day by day;
For you have always tried to do,
And help us on our way.
Loving friends look on your face,
| Their hearts within are grooming;
Who shall it be to take your place,
Your seat is decked with mourning.
You shall sleep beneath the sod,
And wait the final day;
And we can oily look to God,
To help us on our way.
Augustus M. Price.
KIND REMEMBRANCE OF MRS. F.
M. LAWLER.
l wish to read this little ode,
OF friend who was loved by all;
\ Who never murmured at her load,
But answered to every call.
A model life she has lived,
Since in our midst she has been;
Her youthful life she has given,
Fighting the foes Of sin.
She has been a model too,
To those who would obey;
The life she lived was good and true
No matter what people may say.
This model friend stood high above,
The mark of guile and shame;
The people of Martin bestow theiI
love,
Upon her very name, (Fannie).
A., For you dear friend we mourn,
/ Will keep you near our breast;
Still we know that God is wise,
And does all things for the best.
Still our hearts are made to bleed
To know that you are gone;
But God will bear the righteous
feed,
In that celestial home.
