In Memorlam.
It has been oor Father’s will to call
from us our dear mother, Mrs. Lousts
Oliver, who has been in feeble health
for some time, but had not been con
fined to her bed but one week. How
kind our father was that she should
not suffer longer.
She died October 14, 1902 and was
born August 14, 1827. How sad the
thought that we have nu mother, now
that we can never see her again on
earth, but, oh. how happy to feel that
she is at rest and with herSavimr and
loved ones who have gone before I
She hod been afflicted for several
years, but bore her afflictions without
a murmur. Then, why should we
grieve that she is done with sorrow?
FsroweU dear mother, but not forever,
Death shall not us always sever,
We will meet you again in bliss
high;
Meet you again, in the sweet by and
by;
Meet where is heard no sad farewell.
Forever with Jesus our Saviour to
dwell;
Our loved ones, we in Heaven shall
meet
And our stay together will be long
and sweet.
Her affectionate daughter.
