WHEREAS: Our Heavenly
Father has taken unto Himself.
in the home beyond, our well be-
loved sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Cav
Hyde, our oldest member, and
one whose zeal, devotion, and
industry was a shining example
to all who remain.
She was, for many years, Pres
ident of this society, and, wheth-

she was faithful and earnest in
every task and duty.
THEREFORE, be it resolved
That we deeply regret the loss
OF our dear sister, as a compan-
ion and fellow worker, and great.
ly mourn her decease, which,
Notwithstanding the full years
Of a well ripened life, seems to
US still as untimely.
Her place cannot well be filed !;
her example we commend and
will endeavor to emulate; and
hope to receive at the end, as she
has, the crown that awaits the
faithful in the Heavenly home.
