However, what is our loss is someone else's gain and we know that with your personality it will not take long to make yourselves a host of new and probably better friends. But as a remembrance of your former ones 'may we deign to offer this little gift. As you- travel down the pathway of life, may a benevolent Provi- dence strew beneath your feet a carpet of roses, is the sincerest wish of your friends and neigh- bors. • Connell Family At Sturdy Reunion Mr. and Mrs. Harold Connell, Clayton and Ellen and Mrs. Geo.
