The unrestrained and heartfelt sympathy of her friend and community goes out to the aged husband and eight childre and near relatives of the departed. The tears of many will be mingled with theirs upon the grace that contains the mortal remains of their loved one. May they meet and know each other beyond the River in the sincere and prayer of the weiter. S B EVANS
