At Rest. The pale horse and rider have halted at another happy home with that merciless summons, and In place of i;ne former health and happiness, have left behind them a broken family and a vacant chair. In old age, ’mid tottering footsteps, it seems that death should seek its prey, but more often the all-wise Creator sees fit to remove us at some other action. Thus from the prime of life and bright hopes and prospects, Omnipotent God has called Ida B. Dearing, wife or Larrentus L. Dearing and daughter ofJDavid D. (deceased) and Martha J. Miley. She was born Feb. 6, 1861, was married to Laraentus J,. Dearing November 17,1889 and died of consumption, August 23. 1893. aired 22 years, 6 months and 17 days. She was converted to the Christian faith in 1885 and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Sugar Ridge. Her daily life has ever proven her profession, for her walk was in the footsteps of her blessed Savior. When upon her death-bed and the death angel came to release her soul trom its casket of clay, her Christian life changed the gloomy hour into a sweet, sad scene never to be forgotten. Among other words she exclaimed, *‘Pa, I’m coming, Lydia I’m coming,” and bidding them all good bye, with her dying breath she said, “Cut the cord and let me go, I want to go, I want to go.” Such a departure casts|a halo of glory over the bed of the dying and leaves behind a true consolation, which none but the Christian can leave.” “O grave where is thy victory, t i O deathjwhere is thy sting.” The funeral services were conducted by Rev. George Whitman at the Sugar Ridge Church and the remains were interred at Walnut Hill Cemetery. Ida is gone and has left behind, a loving husband, mother, sisters and hosts of friends, but the path she trod will lead us all to the gates of heaven, where with joy she waits to welcome us to a happy and eternal home. Pwt^rnc* Dearing.
