Her life was full of years and she hada large share of all that it brings to human kind of sorrow and. grief and joy and gladness. Wide was the circle of her friends and deep .is the sense of loss, but one and all, who through the long years of her stay with thein were accustomed to look upon her kind, benevolent, saint- ly face as that of a very dear friend not to be parted from, who will now look forward to the time of re -union..
