December 12. issx. she was united in marriage with Charles W. Yager, by Rev. D. B. Rickard.

I or years she has fought against that dread I disease, consumption, but at last strength i gave way and she saw that it was the Lord’s will that she should go. then like a submissive child she yielded to the Father’s will. As the time drew near she lx*catne anxious to i go. “Oh. let me go home to Im- with Jesus.” i .he would s., j Dvaih hud no terrors for her. ; She made arrangements for her funeral as calmly as if giving directions about the ordinary affairs of life. >he could scarcely wait for the Master to come for her. At about live o’clock Friday evening she passtxl ■ peacefully away to the home on high. Three sisters had proceeded her to the bet- ! ter land. Her sorrows and sufferings art* over, her ! trials are past. The race is run. the victory ■ is won. bhe is not dead but sleeps, we bei lieve, in Jesus. ■ “Asleep in Jesus.' Blessed sleep.
