her life in Seaforth and its vicinity.
While of a quiet and unostentatious
nature she had many interests to
Which she devoted herself untiringly.

est support - ;During the war her

Here she spent much of the summer
with her beloved plants and flowers.

brother, Mrs. +George Fonder, Fargo,
N. tDakota, who is very ill at :pres-
ent, and Mr. Joseph 'Fowler, Tucker -

MRS. JAMES GRAVES.

73 years. Mrs, Graves. had been
quite. happy and well during the
winter, but took a heart spell just.
after Christmas and, oh 'Thursday
last suffered a paralytic stroke from
which she did not regain conscious-
ness, passing peacelfully away _early
Thursday morning. She was born
at'Whithy, Ontario, daughter of the
late James and Mrs. 'Ratcliffe, and
came to Huron with her parents,
where they were among the early
pioneers at Auburn. About forty
years ago she Was married to James
Graves and came to Seaforth where
she had since .lived. "'God touched
him with His finger, and he slept,"
the poet wrote. So may, be said of
this --dear life --"!God touched her with
His finger and she slept," but not
until a beautiful life.was lived, a noble
example of patience, fidelity to truth
and faith were given. And now that
she sleeps, memory takes up the.harp
of life, and smiting the strings, finds
her virtues melt into music. So it
ever is, when a life is nobly and
divinely lived. She had always been
very active and conducted 'the in-
terior decorating • store ` for many
years in Seaforth and had a very
wide circle of friendsand acquaint
anees, both PR a business and social
way, who extend sympathy to the
bereaved daughters, Misses Alva and
Verna, at home, and Mrs. Weston,
of Detroit, Mich. Two sisters and a
brother also survive, Miss Jean

boy of nearly ten yearsof age. In the

Oh Spring! 0 Spring! where did yeti
go?
You just stayed long enough to know
How good and balmy you could be;
You filled our hearts all full of glee.
You also brought the birdies all,
Whyl did you go and bring a squall.
Oh yes -I knew the farmers said
Our grain should have a covered bed,
Soyouspread out a sheet of snow
To warm the ground so it would
grow.
So please let'March -come like a lamb
And let the 'weatherman be calm;
We will forgive you if you bring
The birds back and the gentle Spring.
