Mrs. Hazen has served most faith

and troubles with a cheerful and joy
ful smile, there are many today to rise

For naught that sets heart at ease,
or giveth happiness or peace
Is low esteemed in her eyes"

-Ers. Hazen had wonderful genius
for friendship OF a remarkably
happy disposition her infectious Joy
and blitheness of spirit under all
stress of circumstance will prove a
beautiful heritage to all who EAaw
her.
TO all who were privileged to
come into the home circle, her cl arm
i.:g and gracious presence there will
ever be a wonderful memory. Even
after she was unable to take an
active part in the social and friendly
life Of the town, she still kept her
lively interest in all its daily hap
penings and from the home there still
radiated good cheer and helpfulness.
She had rare genius for friend
ship, wonderful faculty for helping
those in trouble, a clear insight into
character. Her infectious JOY has
brought sunshine to many an anxious
heart. The whole town is richer for
having felt the JOY of her presence
during these years; the whole town Is
today saddened that she has gone
from us.
Mrs. Hazen had not been strong
for a long time but her inimitable
pluck, her unfailing courage, her
great desire not to sadden other lives
with her sufferings, gave even to her
nearest friends hope that she might
live for many months.
Sometime it may be easy to remem-
Der your dear and golden ways,
How all the words you ever spoke
we're happy, joy-filled your laugh
ing days;
The way you turned your head, your
hands, your laughter, the peace up
on your brow,
Sometime it may be easy to remem-
Der, but oh, not now, not now"
The funeral will be held at the
house on Wednesday afternoon at one
o'clock for the family only, followed
by a service at the North church at
