A voice of gladness, there is a veiled a face, Whose parting leaves a darkened silent place Seldom has the pen of antectionate remembrance been called up to record the death of a more lovely and lovable friend than the subject of this sketch. It is with hearts filled with sympathy for the bereaved ones that we would offer this simple tribute to her memory. A spirit more gentle, more kind and more pure never tenanted a beautiful frame. In all the endearments of home life, she will be missed. To the grief stricken husband and his sorrowing old parents there will be a great void in their home. Her face will be missed at the table and at the fireside which she has blessed and brightened by her cheerful words and loving deeds of kindness.
