FALLS VILLAGE
The Passing of Mrs. Julia Miner
 An Appreciation

The passing away of such Wom- n as Mrs. Julia Miner demands more ian brief notice of death and tlrial. She had too large part in le social and religious life of the ommunity for that to be satisfac- ,ry Here she was born and here le lived nearly all of her eighty-two nd two thirds years.
 Hers was an unobstrusively active nd helpful life. She had cheer Il part in every good work, and ,ok deep and kindly interest in all 5embers of the community. AL lough she outlived all of her near st kindred, she is mourned, as if le were relative, by m@ny friends whom she had greatly endeared srself, and more especially by the embers of the Falls Village Con- tegational Church.
 At the early age of ten years she nose as her church home the Con- regational church of South Canaan. fer parents, although members of mother church, hired for her of a eighbor conveyance to the church ervices. After the Falls Village aurch was organized sine removed CT connection to it. Her husband, 7hiting Miner together with U. H. liner built and presented to the nurch the pleasant and convenient ocial rooms. ..-....
 Mrs. Miner was faithful to the nurch of her choice until her death. llthough living at 9 considerable istance from the church she regu- arly attended all services of wor- nip long after her friends felt she -as physically unable. And she al- vays took willing part in all the k .bors of the church, and contributed Generously to all it's enterprises. 4. It is recorded of one who welcom- d the Holy Child, Jesus, to the temple that "She was of great age" k. "who departed not from the smple, worshipping with fastings nd supplications night and day" Almost the same can be said of Mrs. lulia Miner, except that in tead of welcoming Jesus, He has welcomed her to the City which has 10 need of a Temple.
 Such an example is legacy to my church to-day, greater than a lequest of money.* -3
