In Memory of Mrs. Victoria
Evans.

Leaves nave tnelr Time 10 1all.'
From season to season we learn
from youth to silvery age to look
with joyous eyes, upon the faces of
the beautiful flowers as they smile
up from where they have been en-
tombed by winters icy hand. 1t is
only the truth craven upon the
leaves of our mind, that when a
friend passes from view, cut down
by the north wind of death, that
the star of faith, rises luminous
upon our overwhelming grief
. ID we know that as the leaves
return tc the trees and the flowers
to their stems, so the loved ones are
beyond the changing shadows of
times effacing fingers.
Just a month has borne it's record
beyond the space of time. Amidst
the nearest of earth, Mrs. N. G.
Evans Victoria Gary like a leaf in
the autumns golden light, of a we'll
spent life, this historic woman passed
away, in her beautiful home in
Edgefeld; coming in the summer
of life to take possession of the
home Der famous brother M. w.
Gary, ~bequeathed to her, she with
a dignity, born of a great mind,
dispensed royalty to poor and rich,
a beautiful hospitality, springing
from a noble christian heart. To
know her was a liberal education.

Lee and others, with whom she vas

To her family and friends we give
