The grim reaper. death. has Gu
tered our midst and with his keen
sickle has taken a young life from
the home and community, Mrs.
Richard Owens, young and attrac-
tive woman, passed away OH Satur-
day morning at the home of her
father, Hugh Palmer, of pneumonia,
aged 30 years. Her home was in
Dover. but she was visiting her
father at the time of her illness and
death. It is inexpressibly sad to
be snatched SO suddenly from the
family circle where she was great
ly beloved The transition TO the
life beyond was so sudden that her
friends and relatives arc shocked
and grievcr at their great loss. No
words can quite express the SYM
patby of the community in this time
of sorrow. There are many whom
we have "lOved and lost awhile" but
there is comfort in the thought that
there is a time coming when there
shall be no more death, neither sOr-
SOW. The funeral services were
held here on Tuesday afternoon, con
