Her last illnes was many months. duration yet she bore her sufferings with a patience and fortitude which evidenced the sustaining power of God's grace. Calm and conscious till the tide of life had ebbed away and the last pulse had tolled her funeral dirge, she knew no terror, felt no despair, but with a trust unshaken she went Joyfully and serenely down into the valley of the shadow of death. Those who loved her doubt not that she received the welcome invitation "Come you blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you". Besides her husband she leaves one daughter, five sons and several grandchildren. To these our tenderest sympathies go forth; especially to the aged companion by whose side she journeyed so many years. It will not be long till he shall join her in that land of the _?_ where no sad partings ever come. May he be ever in God's holy keeping.
