SUDDEN DEA»n OL'. MABEL FOAMIER,-
A great gloom has been' oast over the
village of Ethel and the vicinity by lbs
death of Mabel, only daughter of Chris•
Man Eokmier, on the morning of Sunday,
10th inst,, at the early age of thirteen
ysara. She was ill less than a week with
a serious affection of the throat, which
from the beginning gave very little hope
of recovery. Three skilled physicians
were in attendance upon her, and after
employing all the means known to Medi•
cal soienoe it was decided that the only
hope for her recovery lay in a surgical
operation. The operation was swathes..
fully performed on Saturday afternoon,
and great was the joy of her numerous
relatives and friends at the prospeot of
her restoration to health. But, alas,
their hopes were soon dashed to the
ground. for Sunday morning brought the
sad intelligence that her spirit had taken
its flight to that unknown land whence
none wbo enter ever return. The funeral
service on. Tuesday, afternoon was con•
ducted by Rev. W. J. Waddell in the
Methodist church, and made a deep im-
pression upon the unusually large eon.
course of people, who were assembled
from far and near. Unaesuming in her
manner, of an amiable disposition and
endowed with intelligence and thought-
fulness beyond her years, Mabel was a
general favorite with old and young. and
ib may safely be said that until the
present generation shall have weed
away the mention of her name, with the
thought of her short life and sad death,
will ever cause feelings of profound sor-
row to all wbo knew her. She was an
active member of the Methodist Sabbath
School_ in this plane, and occupied the
position of organist, having acted in that
capacity just a week before her death.
That her eternal happiness in a brighter
and better world above is proportionate
to the great grief experienced by those
Who esteemed her so highly upon earth,
is the consoling thought of
