IN MEMORY OF MRS. MARIA D'AVY LAVERGNE

Our ranks are broken; the angel of Death has come with silent tread, and 
reaching out his icy fingers, clasped the hand of our sister, and led her away 
to meet her God.

She died after a long illness, at the family residence, on Thursday, June 10th, 
1915, at he (sic) age of 67 years, 9 months and 27 days.

She was the wife of Mr. Michel Lavergne, and the mother of several children, 
some of whom are still living.

Mrs. Lavergne was a member of Gordon Chapter U. D. C., No. 1470; and it is with 
sadness that we chronicle her death. It was not my privilege to know Mrs. 
Lavergne personally, but I hear only good words spoken of her on every side. 
We, the members of the Gordon Chapter, U. D. C., wish to extend the hand of 
sympathy to the bereaved ones of our deceased sister. We beseech them to look 
beyond the grave, to our heavenly Father, who doeth all things well, for those 
who love Him. He is the great Comforter. When we reach the great beyond we hope 
to find our Sister there, rejoicing and singing praises to the great God of 
Love.

No more good-byes up there, no more parting no more sickness, no more death; 
but Everlasting Life with our blessed Savior.

May peace be her portion.
Done by order of Gordon Chapter, U. D. C., No. 1470.

CARRIE M. YOUNG,
Historian.
