Our mother has gone and left us, Here with us she could not stay, For the voice of Jesus called her, And she has gone from us away. Pain and sickness cannot reach her, Up, in heaven all is well, But 'tis God that has bereft us, And he doeth all things well. She died with faith in Jesus, And her hopes in God were strong, Oh, we miss her, how we miss her, Mother's journey is so long.

May he rest in peace. Father's gone, Oh, how we miss him, How our hearts around him twine, But the angels came and took him, To a brighter, better clime. Father's gone from us forever, Oh, how hard it was to part, For the mother and the children, Oh, it seemed 'twould break our hearts. He has gone to dwell with Jesus, In a land that's free from pain, And our loss, though great it seemeth, Is sure eternal gain.

Last Christmas she contributed a fancy piece for the Ladies Aid Society Bazaar, and also presented to children strings of beads which she had strung herself. These incidents are only examples of what her whole life has been, as she sought to serve her Lord by helping others and making people happy. There remains to mourn her loss five children, Henry D. and Zora, of Edon, Mrs. Irene WHITE of St. Louis, and Mrs. Belle ANSPAUGH and Hiram of Edon; also twelve grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.

BROWN was about thirty-two years of age and left a widow and two children. From The West Unity Reporter, 1898 In loving remembrance of my only son, Charlie N.
