In the passing out of this life of

The older members remember al-
ways meeting her at their cemetery
meetings where she came to repre-
sent the cause dear to her heart.
Of late years she could not attend
on account of ill health, however, her
heart and loving’ thoughts were with
us.
Lot us not selfishly wish her back,
for we know she has entered into a
more beautiful life, that life, which
j we should strive to enter by doing in
this life the things which prepare us
for it, and’when the great call come3

BE IT RESOLVED, That we spread

I esteem, and that we extend to her

j in :his great sorrow that has over-
shadowed him, and that a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the
deceased.
