For more than a year past the health of Mrs. Florence had been rather delicate, but it was not until p erhaps three months ago that she was confined to her room and there were apprehensions of danger among her friends. Since that time her eel me has been rapid and death Las ended her suffering. Sl:e bora her Kfiictfons with Christian fortitude. Put while it is our sad duty thus to record the death of one who so recently, in apparent health, mingled with us as a wife, neighbor and friend, we will cherish the memory that in these va ious relations of life she was affectionate, kind, affable and gentle. She shared in a high degree tli esteem and confidence of all who knew her. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community. The remains were interred in the Smith cemetery. “Mossback.” Maw 11, ISSG.
