OBTIUARY

Entered in life eternal Cecile Willsey, wife of Andrew J. Miller, Jan. 12, 1910, leaving behind her an infant daughter, Helen. We can hardly reconcile ourselves to the loss. It seems so sad that she must be taken away in her fair young motherhood, in the morning of life. A large gathering of the neighbors and friends were called two days in succession to follow two young mothers on the sad journey to their last earthly resting place, the other being a near neighbor and close friend of our Dear Cecile, Olga Zeh, wife of Daniel Lendrum, who also left a little daughter, Helen. The blow is almost moor than we can bear, We can only bow our beads in blind submission, and pray for strength to endure and not question "why." We shall always retain a happy memory of Cecile. She always met her friends, which were many, with a smile. Stay her little daughter be spared and inherit the same cheerful, happy disposition, and may the affiicted father, too ill in health to attend the last sad rites, and all the friends left behind, strive and look forward to travel the bright path we feel sure she has trod.

CARD OF THANKS — Andrew J. Miller and all the members of the family wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their kind service and sympathy, through their sorrow and bereavement.
