Her stay on earth was like the blushing beauty and rare fragrance of the queen of spring flowers, short but much enjoyed, as she was the idol of her mother's heart, and had won the confidence and esteem of her associates. Having just arrived at the age to enjoy this good life she was taken away. God in his infinite providence plucked the blooming flower while the early dew was yet upon it, from the garden of fond hearts--the family circle. She was consecrated to the Lord and dedicated to his service by the holy rite of confirmation in the Lutheran Church. She bore her afflictions with marked patience and when asked of her willingness to die seemed rather to encourage than depress her soul, frequently expressing a desire to depart and be with Jesus, which is far better. She has gone never to return to us again, and may her death be a reminder to all her young associates that they too must died, ever hoping that their end may be like hers--peace. Hence, we say, sorrow not loved ones as those had no hope. The time that God appoints is best. The hearts and homes vacated on earth should not be saddened but gladdened, because that God has seen fit to transplant from earth's garden of sorrow to the paradise of His infinite love the one in whom you had such bright hopes. There's a chair at the fireside that's vacant. Her form no more there is seen; But in our hearts, dear Junie, There's a place to your memory ever green. D. R. S. Altoona, Pa., March 12, 1881.
