Universally beloved, her unexpected death will be long mournfully remembered by her friends and associates.

This sudden bereavement to the grief-stricken parents inflicts an irreparable loss and brings sorrow to the entire neighborhood. Calmly she sank to rest in full confidance{sp} of an immortal and happy eternity.

The deceased was affianced to a young man of irreproachable character, whose grief seemed inconsolable.
