DEATEI.OF MISS PENNABAKER.
-.Death is always unwelcome even
though it comes- at the natural time
when life's day is 0"701' and its work
done, but When it steals in upon the
tinnily circle, and plucks the young
life that is just budding into woman-
hood it is doubly seta and its blow falls
with terrible force. Streit it bereave-
ment as this befell the home of Mr
and Mrs. II. Pennabaker on Satarday
the 21s1 inst., when their third darigh. -
tee, Annie, ansvveled the enrnmens of
death. For nearly eight months she
had been fighting a hard. and ' con.
tinous battle against disease. 'and
though she was brave and usually
hopeful, and though everything that
loving,. hands, and skillful medical
attendance could devise was clone, it
was an unequal stet -wee; and et last
the glens reaper conquered. Deeeased
had only been ocinfined td her bed for
a few days, On Saturday she had:
eeveral bad turns, and at a little after
seven o'clock in the evening with
scarcely a struggle, her spirit took its
flight to the Father's presence, Mies
Pennabaker was born in the township
of Colbor ne, near Shep eardtoe, on
Aug. 2nd 1889 and was therefore in her
171.h year. In the year 1.892she moved.

of a wide circle of friends goes out in
