First Presbyterian church and also
OF the Rebekah lodge, and was be-
! loved by the members of the organi-

The passing Of Mrs Dutton comes
with crushing force to the husband
and children. Only few days age
she filled her place in the home, min
istering to those who by the ties OF
home had claims upon her. In the
brief space of five days this home
has been turned from a happy place
to that Of deepest sorrow. Mrs. Dut-
tons greatest Joy was found in per-
forming well those everyday, common
place tasks in life, so often neglected
in this day and age. Mrs. Dutton was
home loving, Christian mother. and
cared little for the fleeting pleasures
OF life, but with singular fidelity she
devoted herself to the rearing of her
children, who will ever cherish In
their hearts the sweet memory OF
true mother-love SO prominent in her
life.
The passing of Mrs. Dutton brings
sorrow not only to the immediate
family circle, but many who have
learned to know and love her
mourning her departure. Mr.. Dntton
and his children, in this time Of 8
Fiction, may find some consolation in
the lines of Longfellow:
All, Me! how dark the discipline OF
pain,
Were not the suffering followed by
the sense
OF infinite rest and infinite release!
This is our consolation; and again
A great soul cries to us in our sus-
pense;
II came from martyrdom unto this
peace
