In Memoriam.

Mrs. Martha M. Cade passed from this world to the life immortal on Saturday 
evening, August 28th, in this year of our Lord 1897. She had lived one year 
beyond the allotted four score. The peace and serenity of the closing scene was 
a fit ending of a useful and well spent life. The children and grand children, 
who mourn her loss, can ever find in the record of that life an incarnation of 
those lofty and beautiful principles, which make our christianity an everyday 
ministry of love.

Her burial service was held on Sunday evening, at the Episcopal Church, of 
which she had been for many years a consistent and faithful communicant. The 
rector said of her: "she hath done what she could. Our church has never had a 
better friend, our community a more noble and exalted character, christianity a 
more humble and upright follower of the Lord. Her passing to the higher and the 
happier life, so great a joy for her, is a loss to our entire church as well as 
those who are bound to her by the ties of kindred. May her soul ever rest in 
the blesses peace of God."

As the shadows of evening deepened her perishable body was committed to its 
native earth, but a crimson hopefulness illumined the west, giving promise of 
the immortal day.

C. C. K.
