She seemed conscious that the end
had come and triumphantly passed
the ordeal in her Gath year.
! At an early age she became iden-
titled with the supreme Life of Truth
and Righteousness to whose inspiring
principles she was ardently devoted.
Her active Christian life was we'll
known and she will be remembered
and cherished by her many friends.
Her devoted husband has lost faith

| neighbor.
The funeral services were largely

reaved husband and the morning of
the resurrection.
| Well may man forgo this sad scene,
When his vision of glad earths dream
Dispels the blight of sin and pain,
AS foretold in Gods dear name,
| That the waste places will soon bloom
With the new life from the tomb.
