a shock to members of her family,

and she passed TO her reward in the
arms of her son, C. A. Shepard, at his
home in East Ely.
The deceased had been a resident
of East Ely for the past year. during
which time she had formed true and
lasting friendships. She was active
and conscientious in many lines of
usefulness, and had those personal
qualities of mind and heart that in
sure love and confidence. Old and
young alike are ~saddened al her sud-
den taking away.

Now, across the graves of a mil.

beginning to see the sun set on the

shrieking beneath the visitation OF

Such cries are echoed in the ghostly
