    On the 24th day of January, 1894, God took from our midst the form of sweet Maggie. She was mild and sweet in all her ways in life. She was kind and affectionate to everybody. She leaves a husband, one little girl, father, mother, two sisters and one brother, besides a host of friends, to mourn her departure. While it is our blessed Creator's will to remove from the home circle our beloved Maggie, we should come to Him in simple faith and say, Thy blessed will be done. Though great pangs of sorrow and grief encompass our hearts to know she is ever shut out from our sight in this life, tis sweet to know that God's faithful children will be gathered together some sweet day. Then we will behold Maggie, with beautiful soft blue eyes, among the great white throng, praising her dear Redeemer.

    Oh! there at last, life's trials past, We'll meet our loved once more, Whose feet have trod the path to God; Not lost, but gone before.
