Death ol Mrs. Joseph W Ward
The Death Angel has visited our
home and taken from us our darling
mother.
About twelve years ago, she was
confiued to her bed for four months
"L . ~ V.
with typhoid fever, since then she
has been an invalid- In the spring
of 1906, her sight failed and had
never returned. She was never
heard complaining at any of God's
wortTs, but would often say: ' What
a dark world this is.*'
On the fourth Sunday in January,
pneumonia attacked her frail holy,
and ou the following Thursday
morning, atter untold agony, at 2
o'clock her spirit left its tenement
of clay and entered that eternal
haven of rest prepared for the saints
of-God lrom the foundation of the
world. #
The funeral services were con
ducted by Elder G. I). Roberson,
Friday afternoon and Ikt body was
laid to rest in the family cein.-tery
A large crowd of heart-broken rela
tives md fiiends were present to
pay the last mark of respect.
No one but those who have lost
parents can sympathize with lis,
but we can only hope to meet her
in tha laud of eternal lest. How
sad to give mother up—to thiuk !
that never more on earth will she
clasp our hand in hers!
A darling mother from us is gone,
A voice we loved so much is still,
Her chair is.vacant in our home,
And no one else can ever fill."
Her daughter.
