                                  IN MEMORIAM    
                                 MARY E ELLIOTT

In the death of Mrs. Mary E. Elliott, the community has lost one of the most 
beautiful Christian characters it has ever been our pleasure to know. Her life 
has always been a benediction to those with whom she has come in contact. Her 
cheerful smile and bright, hopeful disposition has dispelled many a cloud and 
many will feel the loss of her tender sympathy and helpfulness.
After the death of Mrs. Elliott, and when her trunk was opened, on the top was 
found the following beautiful poem in her own handwriting.

A BENEDICTION

God keep thee in the busy day,
And in night's lonely hours; 
Though storms may gather round thy way,
Trust His protecting power.

God guide thee! May His wisdom shine
Unclouded o'er thy soul, 
And lead thee, by its light divine,
To the eternal goal!

God bless thee! On this earth below,
And in the world above,
A rich inheritance bestow
His everlasting love. 
   
                                       MAMA
