KINER. - At the residence of her father, in Union township, on Sunday, 
Feb. 16th 1868, Miss Sadie J. Kiner, aged 24 years, 2 months, and 6 
days.
  Cut down in the bloom of youth, with all the high hopes of the 
future, which she so fondly cherished, rudely dashed to the earth, her 
death solemnly appeals to all to be ready. As a daughter, she was 
dutiful and affectionate; as a sister, loving, generous, and true; and 
as a friend, faithful, and kind, ever willing to suffer pain herself, 
rather than see another suffer. She had a kind word and pleasant smile 
for all. And I would add, that her character and dress were a pattern 
for all. Her ear-rings being attention, encircled with pearls of 
refinement; her neck-lace was truth, and the chain morality; her bosom 
pin, was modesty, set with compassion; her bracelets were charity, 
ornamented with gentleness; her finger-rings were affection, set round 
with diamonds of industry; her drapery politeness, and her shoes 
wisdom; secured by buckles of perseverance.
  Her dying words were of such comfort, as none but the Christian know. 
They were "I'm going home and want all to meet me in Heaven." Rest, 
weary one, rest, soon the flowers of Spring will bloom over thy grave, 
may the turf above thee be ever green, and may affection's tears bedew 
the spot where sleeps one with whom we were so loth to bid a long, but 
we trust not a final, farewell.
T.M.W.
