CARD OF THANKS.

To all who have, in various ways, so kindly befriended and ministered to myself and family, during the long, sad illness of my husband, I return my sincere and heartfelt thanks. We have had your sympathy and your aid in the time of trial and distress, for all of which I am grateful. I feel that nothing more could have been asked for than has been so willingly and faithfully rendered while he who suffered remained with us.

MRS. ELLA ROBERTS.
