Of this church she remained a faithful member until the close of life. Toward the end she was resigned, and expressed herself as being at peace with her Maker. She often spoke of her happy anticipations regard ing the future, and at one time quoted a part of that appropriate hymn, ‘Jesus Lover of My Soul, Let me to Thy Bosom Fly,’ and said: “How true it is. He has loved me, and I will soon to His bosom fly’’; and also said she had often felt His presence. She leaves four brothers, one son and one daughter and many friends and acquaintances behind. Rev. H. M. Elwyn conducted the fu neral at the M. HE. church here at 2 p. m.

Oh, how she will be missed as one so much beloved from our midst.
