Mother is gone; her place is vacant and can be filled on earth no more. Notwithstanding the fact that only a few days ago I saw her laid away in her last resting place, still, each time that I visit that quiet home I am more and more impressed with the fact that we have lost one so dear to us, whose place cannot be filled. It also brings afresh to my mind the many days, weeks, months, and years of anxious watchfulness that she bestowed upon us and the many deeds of kindness which she bestowed upon ever one with whom she came in contact. It is sad to give her up; but we should not mourn as those who have no hope, because we have reason to believe that mother has gone to that sweet home of the soul which Jesus has gone to prepare, and that we will some day meet her there, to be separated no more forever. Mother was born on January 4, 1844; she was married to James T. C. McCanless on February 8, 1865. She gave herself to Christ, under the preaching of Brother E. G. Sewell, on July 26, 1867, to which cause she lived faithful and true until March 23, 1903, when the angels came to bear her spirit home. Some years after the death of my father, which took place on June 19, 1884, mother was married to Brother H. T. Snell. This union was a happy one. He and the children who administered so attentively to her wants during her sickness are, like the rest of us, left to mourn her departure.
