Wm. Allison. She was taken sick six days prior to her death with pneumonia, of which she died. Anna, though young in years, she left for the comfort of parents and relatives, a life full of obedience, love and devotion; while with schoolmates and friends lingers the influence of an example noticeable for its acts of kindness and purity.
