lldH lOTllluQe- IOU9Y we know a SnaoOW has fallen across our church and com munity. We know that another of our number has passed on, and our hearts are touched. We mourn with the be- reayed family and friends. Surely the waves leap up and around us One by one the ties that bind us to earth are lessening, and the great cord is growing stronger that binds us to our Fathers home.
 Early in fife our sister chose that good part that shall not be taken from her" For many years she was a faithful member Of the Fitchville Baptist church She was a Christian, and her memory will live forever in the hearts of her many friends.
 The church has lost a faithful member and Lhe two sons and daughter a wise counselor and guide. We bow with sus- mission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. and acknowledge our depen- dence on Him for all that exalts life. and enobles humanity. We tender our heart felt sympathy to her very devoted sons and the daughter, who so much need her and point them to the great Comforter. trusting that they with Christian forti- tude shall run in faith and patience the race that is before them in order that | they may obtain the happy reunion that | is awaiting them in the sweet beyond. Iris sweet as year by year we lose | friends out of sight, in faith 10 muse | how grows in Paradise our store. It can | be said of her ner. "she lived in honor and with patience and ability wrought with fidelity tine duties life brought her. Today has come not gone; the sun has | risen not set; her life IS now beyond the reach of death or change; not ended but begun" The world is better for her hav- l in nd ha f1ar 1F T.r good deeds will never die. She has left us to join the majority, but our loss is hel | eternal gain
