In Memorl.m.

Sunday .at 4P. NJ. Nay IL, 1919 Har.
riet Ann Purdy, relict OF Jessie H.
Wright passed to her last long sleep at
the home Of her nephew, Ernest A..
Purdy of Hamilton. Mrs. Wright famil-
Iarly known as Auntie Wright was in her
Goth year. She was born at Whitby, Pro-
vince and county of Ontario. When SIX
months old her parents moved to where
the Lindsay of today is located, and for
months was the only white child in the
neighborhood. At Meaford. March 10th
1855 she was united to Mr. Wright in
marriage. There they made their home
until 1870 when they came to Two
Points, now L.tellier, Manitoba.
In 1880 they moved to a farm, two
miles north of where Hamilton was at
terward located. THUS they were
among the pioneers Of Pembina county.
In the fall of 1895 in search of better
health Mr.. Wright went to KeysvlIle,
Virginia, where the following April he
suddenly passed away, soon after which
Mrs. Wright returned to North Dakota
and has continuously made her home
with the Purdys until her demise.

tic. These rats of character, coupled
with an active nature wherein idleness
found no place made her beloved in the
home and by her many friends. She
was Methodist by church rela-
tionship and the attest of her christian
lty was her daily life.
She leaves behind one brother, Marsh
Purdy, and several other relatives, not to
mourn but to rejoice in the memory of
her beautiful useful life and the peace
fulness of her passing.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
tist church on Tuesday afternoon. The
opening prayer was offered by Rev. Lee
Of the M. z. church and the Scripture
was read by Rev. Young Of the Presby-
terian church while Rev. B. F. Stump
of Cavalier officiated. Interment was
made in the Hamilton cemetery.
In her passing tho following. lines
seem appropriate:
tits not death to die,
To leave this house of clay,
To dwell with Jesus Christ on high
Throughout eternal day.
1t is not death to part A&
With earthly friends we elove,
We're still united though apart,
Well meet again above.
1t is not death, tits rest, Il 9rs Il.
To cease from every care,
To answer yes to Gcd's behest.
Come dwell in Heaven so fair
1t is not death.bss:s life.
The spirit wings its fight
To realms of bliss where there's no
strife,
To reign with God in light.
