E. church, of which the deceased attended, Thursday at 2 o'clock p.m. after which the remains were interred in the I.O.O.F. cemetery at this place. "Farewell, dear mother; sweet thy rest Weary with years and worn with pain, Farewell 'till in some happy place We shall behold they face again; 'Tis ours to miss thee all our years And tender memories of thee keep, Thine in the Lord to rest, for So he giveth his beloved sleep."
