OBITUARY. Departed this life, on the 13th of October, of Typhoid fever, Mrs. L. ADELINE TRIMBLE, wife of A. C. Trimble, aged 26 years, 5 month and 10 days. The writer was well acquainted with the subject of this notice, and can truly say there never lived a more devoted wife, generous friend, obliging neighbor, kind mistress, and pious, consistent Christian. Free from guile, she moved among us the meek, unobtrusive woman, of strong faith and good works. Though she is gone, she has left behind a character shining with the light of every Christian virtue, worthy to be imitated by all. While her body rests in the grave, we believe her spirit rests with God in heaven. Most truly may her bereaved husband sing from his inmost soul, the following stanzas: Hushed are the winds, and still the evening glow: Within this narrow cell reclines her clay— Oh! Could that King of Terrors pity feel. But wherefore weep? Her matchless spirit soars And shall presumptuous man heaven arraign, Yet is remembrance of those virtues dear, But a few days had elapsed and this afflicted family were called again to mourn the departure, on the 30th of October, of Pneumonia, of that once loved face, now cold and dead, JAMES AUGUSTUS, infant son of A. C. and L. A. TRIMBLE, aged 4 months and 24 days. Death spreads his withering wintry arms, We weep—our earthly comfort’s fled Hope looks beyond the bounds of time, R. C. S. |
