The deceased was a employe of the
Carter-Crume Company, and one who
knew and loved her has written thee
lines:
Death has visited our circle.
And our friend has passed away;
One who worked with us in union;
How we miss her day by day.
Always cheerful, always happy,
But how sad it could not last;
We'll remember her in future,
As our Mary of the post.
How we used to seek her presence
.When we had some tale to tell:
Deep within our hearts we miss her.
For we've bad our last farewell.
Bat we must remember others,
Who will miss her more than we;
And her parents left behind her,
When the vacant place they see.
Let us think that we cau see her,
Living with her God alone;
Wearing now her crown of glory,
In her everlasting home
