OBITUARY.
Mrs. Nellie, wife of Orry Britton and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Cook, who died on the 17th inst. was in her 24th year and possessed many fine qualities as a fond wife and a good mother. She had buried two children and leaves a baby boy about one week old. She was conscious to the last and left many bright testimonies as to her faith and sure hopes of salvation, and urged all her friends to become reconciled and trust in Jesus. She seemed glad to think of meeting her two children who were waiting for her at the portals. She was solicitous that the baby be named Chester and that he receive the proper moral and religious instructions and training. She bid all a farewell and closed her eyes on earth to open them in the glory land. ~A.J.C.
