And then he Sent his call.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. AMANDA MOORE
When the golden morning in russet mantle clad came tripping over the hills of the eatern horizon, on last Thursday, January the seventh, and dispelled the darkness that had overshadowed the bosom of mother earth like a pall the night before, the tear-drops of dew that coursed down the cheeks of the blushing flowers and caused them to scintillate with the radiance of diamonds, the soul of Mrs. Amanda Moore winged its flight from this world of pain and sorrow to realms unknown, to join her husband who had preceded her fourteen years before. The news of her death came to the writer like a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky, filling his heart with pain and causing his soul to overflow with sorrow. We knew that Mrs. Moore had been confined to her bed for several days, but little did we realize her to be so near death's door. Several days before her death she was seized with an attack of neuralgia, which run on until that dreadful malada, pneumonia, developed, but then it was not thought that her case was so serious until a short time before her death, when she began to sind rapicly. All that medical skill and good nursing could do was done to revive her but to no avail. She died Thursday morning just at daybreak.
