She will be greatly missed by the family, for which she had been very much concerned, but we humbly submit to the Lord's will, who doeth all things well.

"Dear mother, your sufferings are o'er,
Your cold hands will toil for us no more;
And though we have to bid you good night,
And our sad hearts ache at parting,
We long to bid you good morning
In that land of eternal rejoicing."
