Obituary
Anna died in the bloom of young womanhood - a sweet devoted child, with bright prospects - was stricken with disease and we had to part for a time.
Mary was the wife of Harvey Donaldson for a few brief years and she too - so dear to us - was taken from us so soon.
Isabella - an infant of a year -
a sweet child was taken from us.
Sherman - a devoted son - just coming into manhood - passed away when there seemed before him a life of activity and usefulness.
