he:uF1uu?50;dt\OPf1epu| Obituary,Mri. Monroe Lemmon d 1 away at Bristol, Tenn., February r 1900, aged 33 years.That “Death loves a shining mark*'' ■ was most sadly verified /©n Monday ' last. Its grasping, chilling lingers had singled out their victim: its eotd i and cruel arms awaited to gather the fragile form in an icy, relentless embrace: human power was of no avail r I in resisting the dread monster that snapped asunder the cords of life, leaving sorrow and desolation ir* its path. Mrs. Grace Lcmmond was the only child of Mrs. M. Van Doren, grand-daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. Peironnet, and niece of Mr. Harlan Peironnet, Mr. Peironnet accompanied Mrs. Van Doren to Bristol. Tenn., leaving on Tuesday morning'strain.The joyful intelligence of the arriv-j al of a son in their happv home had scarcely been received here, when ^ another message came announcing the death of the young mother. No one was prepared for this sad news* it seemed hard to realize that it must be true. It cast a gloom over those who knew her. and their heart* went out in deap sympathy to the bereaved family he.*® and to that stricken husband so far away from hume or kin* dred,Mrs. Lemmotid wa* a Cape girl of j *whom our people were juatlv proud. She was educated at the Normal School and was considered a bright and diligent student. She was an elocutionist of more than ordinary ability, and her talent* were recog-nued, not only at home, but in many cities of the North and East as well.! tiIIa□oneacIftrdADenuiilt;3g1aTen years ago last December Grace,fc Van Doren and M. M. Lemmond were, married. Ten years of unalloyed bappiness--and then!—death *s grim shadow creeps In and casts Its gloomover the wife—and for a few hours,IIImother—and robs that devoted hus-jBband of his greatest earthly treasure,.a and deprives the tiny infant of a|l mother’s warm affection. Grace.c Lemmond! It seems but yesterday that you were with us, with your radiant, happy nature, shedding sun-|€ light on all things around! It is hard to feel that your young life is at an end, that on earth we shall see you no more, and to know that that voice we loved so well is forever hushed in death. |BTo the grief-stricken ones who are | left behind. lhei- only comfort is the 'ii£CIvknowledge that she Int^ gone to that “Haven of licet** where sorrow is * unknown. In the belief that *omejr day they will be re-uni ted, then* is a * con so hi lion that will aid in healing 1 the hearts that are broken, and create :t spirit of resignation to the will i.f nHim who doeth all things well.*’ l*iA FRIEND.
