was a consistent Christian and died as she lived. She was a help-meet indeed -- a good wife -- an affectionate mother and beloved by all who knew her. Beloved most by those that knew her best -- She has gone to join that innumerable company which no man can number. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. And may God of his infinite mercy sanctify this melancholy bereavement to the eternal good of his dear family relatives and friends.
Lovely saint, how brief thy stay!
Short and troubled was the day
Ending soon thy journey here;
Pain and grief no more to bear.
Hard it is with Thee to part,
For, it rends the aching heart.
But an heir of glory's gone --
Let the will of God be done.
Pillowed on the Savior's breast,
Sweetly sleep and sweetly rest, --
The resurrection shall restore,
The buried saints who've gone before.
