Gone to Rest.

Elizabeth FOOTE, wife of Sylvester GREEN, living three miles northwest of Salina, passed to her long home about 9 o'clock A. M., February 9th, 1895, being aged 75 years, 7 months and 28 days. The body was consigned to the earth of Richwoods cemetery and its spirit returned to the God who gave it.

Mrs. GREEN was born in Wells Valley, Bedford county, Pennsylvania, June 11th, 1819. She was married to Sylvester GREEN the 12th day of December, 1843. For more than a half century they lived together a quiet, happy, wedded life. God gave them four sons and four daughters, of whom one son died in infancy, and two daughters in married life. The following are the names of the living: Alonzo J., Winfield F., Oran W., Mrs. Dr. V. L. CHESTER, of Carthage, Mo.; and Mrs. Thomas C. LYNN, of Pleasant Plain, Ia. A few days before Mrs. GREEN departed this life, Amos R. FOOTE, an aged brother living in Kansas, died in his 64th year. The news was never broken to her in this world, but ere this she has met her brother in the glorious city of our God; for both were Christians, and we may trust are now in the spirit land where parting shall be no more, her brother, a Presbyterian, and she for almost forty years a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

A large number of relatives and sympathetic friends gathered at the Upper Richwoods church Sabbath afternoon at 2 o'clock, February 10th, 1895, where the funeral services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. R. Jeffrey, Jr. He spoke from the words in Col. 1., 27.--"Christ in you, the hope of glory."

A Friend.
