but nothing more than usual was
manifested until Tuesday when
she was seized with severe pain
along the spinal column; on Wed
nesday her jaws were locked, the
attack battling all remedies and
ending in death on Saturday. She
had been in excellent health up till
that time. She was a woman of
superior qualities.

Memoir Mrs. Eliza Chatham
was born at Snow Hill, Md, Sept.
9Th, 1903. Her parents were both
devoted members of the M. E.
Church under their pious training
she was brought to realize the i'm
portance of religion in early life,
was converted and joined the ME-.
Church in her 14th year. She re-
mained in the church from that
time until her death So years. She
was a woman of remarkable en-
ergy, and independence of charac-
ter, kind friend, and a devoted
christian. On September 18th,
1927, she was united in marriage
to Mr.. Chatham. AS mother
she was greatly devoted to her
children. Her son, Francis M.
Chatham, who was man of sing
ular piety, and who became
member of the Wilmington Con-
ference, attributed his religious
convictions to her influence. In
nothing, perhaps, was her chris
tian constancy manifested, as in
her devotion to this son, who was
stricken with paralysis while in
the pulpit, and died after some
years of suffering, during which
he was mostly in her charge; her
attention to him Notwithstanding
her own infirmities was wonderful.
On June 23rd, she was herself
paralyzed, losing her speech, and
lying in pain, but resignation I'M
til Saturday, the 25th, when her
spirit passed to the home of the
saints, doubtless to mingle with
the loved ones gone before. Who
shall imagine the greeting between
her and that much loved son for
whom she would have laid down
her life. To few can the rest of
Heaven be more sweet than to
her.
The toll of life is DER,
Her spirit now finds rest,
Upon brighter shore,
She mingles with the blest.
No suffering now shall come,
To rack her feeble frame,
She and her son, both safe at home
Give glory to the Lamb.
And through eternity they sing,
His love and power to save;
And, in the joys that are divine,
Full satisfaction have.
New Canning Factory Mr.. |
Samuel w. Hall, who has been OPP
Grating SO largely in the canning
business at Frederick and who !
sold out a week or so ago to /
Iessrs. Reynolds & Postles, has
his wek bought of Ephraim S.
Garrison piece of ground con-
aiming ID -12 acres near Leipsic

The place is at "Redman's Land
ng" or Drawbridge just across
ne creek from Leipsic, in Duck
5reek Hundred. This place was
elected, we presume, because of
IS location on this fine stream,

ends to also erect several dwell
ngs for the occupancy of persons
onnected with the establishment.
t will be an important enterprise
