Possessed of a womanly character Bho endeared herself in a peculiar
manner to her friends. Sho was kind and true no one, no matter
how lowly, over asked sympathy or help but received more than they
dared to expect. Her heart wont out to those unfavored by fortuno
and sho made it her special care to reliovo their necessities. Many
times sho went as an angel of mercy and smoothed the rough path
of declining years or the sorrows of childhood. The call for her
presence at social gatherings was unheeded. Her life was a homo
one she was a home keeper in the fullest sense of the word. Sel
dom is it permitted any ono to seo a more complete picture of
domestic happiness than that afforded by the entire family. Her
pen supplemented her husband's brilliant ono, and her mind was
stored with the choicest cullings from the classic authors. Her
companions wero women of thought and culture, yet her presence
was seldom lent to the many brilliant gatherings to which she was
bidden. She appreciated keenly all kindliness shown her and was
at all times lovable, bright, womanly. Her most immediate friends
will always keep the brightest memories of her and hope that sho
may return to take up her abode among them at tho closo of the
year.

also preparing a programme of Scotch songs which will be given in a

Lippincott, Miss Hattie Becker, Mr. Joseph Wurzburg and Mr. J.
B. Barnaby. The organ is considered the finest toned instrument in
the city. It was built by the Moline Pipe Organ company at a cost
of about 12,500, and was presented to the church by Mr. A. S. Ray
mond. The case is of cherry, finely finished, and is provided with a
motor for pumping. Mrs. Raymond has been the organist contin
uously since the organ was built with the exception of last year when
she went to St. Paul's M. E. At the expiration of the year the Con
