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. Photographs.
