No one ever entered her home without a warm welcome, nor ever left without feeling the effects of warm hospitality.

The cares of life and disease djd not destroy the charm of a loving, indulgent disposition, or. diminish her unselfish solicitude for her loved ones. Mother was always the same to her children, and though business cares and home circles of their own had come to each of them, they were still her boys and girls. We know that in future years the memory of her devotion will make them better men and women, and her precepts will be their guiding star. In the presence of such sorrow, how cold and feeble are words, and how doubly deep would be the grief, were it not for the rainbow of Christian hope in the better world beyond.

Her last wish is now fulfilled as she is sleeping in our beautiful cemetery beside her life's companion, who preceded her in death a little more than a year ago. "Smooths the locks of silver hair. On our mother's brow with tenderest care, Gather the robe In final fold Around the form so still and cold; Lay on her bosom, pure as snow, The fairest, sweetest flowers that grow.
