A double bereavement has fallen upon the life and home of Chas. E. Daugherty, about twelve miles west of Bedford, in Page county. Last Saturday an angel of light came into the life of himself and wife, but hardly had the Christmas carrols pealed forth the glad news of another Christ's birthday, both mother and child had gone to join the angelic hosts to sing praises to God and the Lamb. It was indeed a sad bereavement, and a trail hard to bear, but there is sweet consolation in resting in the promises of God. The stricken husband and father has the keenest sympathy of relatives and friends in his terrible sorrow. May our heavenly Father give him grace to sustain him in his trouble.
