The grim messenger of death has again invaded the home of R. W. Foster, and the fairest of his household has made response.

Miss Grace Foster, aged 25 years, had been rapidly failing in health for the past three months, but was not thought to be dangerously ill until last Sunday afternoon, when she was seized with an violent attack of nervous prostration. Medical assistance was immediately summoned, but to no avail; and at six o’clock Monday morning heavenly breezes wafted her soul back to its giver.

Miss Grace was a loving daughter, and devoted Christian, and her sudden death is deplored by a large number of friends and relatives. Death is a mystery unsolved.

Seven weeks ago this family surrounded the lifeless form of their daughter and sister, Miss Anna, and today, in humble submission to the all-wise Father, they surrender a second loved one. Funeral services were held last Tuesday.
