Wife of Dean C French.
"In Barton Landing, Aug. 23, Adalaide (Dwinell) French, wife of D. [Dean] C. French. Mrs. French was a person of more than ordinary intelligence and ability, and a lady of refined and cultivated tastes. By her death the husband loses a loving wife and companion, her children a fond mother, the community a worthy and exemplary member. Although she has passed out of this life at a comparatively early age, her life has not been in vane; the memory of her life and example here will remain with those who knew her for their good. Though several years of ill health and suffering detracted much from her power to labor for the good of others, yet the world is better for her having lived in it. She was a person of liberal and enlarged view s of this life, as well as the life to come, and those brought in contact with her could but be lifted up and encouraged in the journey of life. Strong in her belief of a future life where all would be reunited, death had no terrors for her; and although possessed of a happy home, and surrounded by all the comforts of life, she was resigned to step from this life into the next, where she firmly believed she should meet the friends gone before. Deep as is their sorrow, her family do not mourn for her as one lost to them, believing that their separation Is only for a short time; their grief is mitigated by the bright anticipations of a happy meeting with her when they shall be called to pass from this life."
