We are sad and sorrowful that the genial smiling face, the loving, tender voice of dear Queen Wallis cease to be seen and heard in our midst. Dear girl gone to join the angel band. We would not call thee from the joys of Heaven back again to the sorrows of earth. We shall meet, but we shall miss thee. Too pure for earth, how sweet to think that she is not dead. Nay she has just put on immortality, and is now beginning to live. She now walks the plains of glory, in perfect joy and peace, freed from pain, awaiting the coming of loved ones. But we miss her so much. How sad to think that no more in this life shall we press her in our fond embrace and impress upon her cheek the affectionate kiss! The resolutions appended, but faintly express the sorrow of our hearts on this sad occasion. Resolved 1st. The while we deplore the loss, we bow in humble submission, and say, “Father thy will not ours be done.” 2nd. That Oakland Seminary has lost one of its brightest scholars and one who is worthy of our memory as a dear friend and a schoolmate. 3rd That our sympathies are hereby extended to the members of the bereaved family in their sore affliction. 4th That the family of our beloved sister be furnished with a copy of these resolutions, and that they be published in the county papers. Millie Posey, Henrietta Cowan, Mattie Hollingsworth, Woodie Harden, Lula Ogletree, Emma Almand, Vallie Jones. Committee.
