Mrs. A dm Harden.
Kline, January 18.—The heavy hand
of sorrow has fallen upon the bereaved
family and host of friends of Mrs. Anne
Harden, who died at her home here
after a short illness, at the advanced
age of 73 years.
She was a devout Christian woman,
and for many years a consistent mem*
her of Siloam Church. She was the
relict, of the late Capt. W. M. Harden,
who died several years ago. “None
knew her but to love her; nolle named
her but to praise.”
We all knovy it was sad for her four
devoted daughters and son to give up
their dear mother whoqi they all loved
so dearly, but they, bowed in humble
submission and said, “Thy will be
done.” She was truly a faithful and
devoted mother.
Mrs. Harden will be missed in every
interest of the church and community,
especially her comforting words to the
sick and distressed. It was the writer’s
happy privilege to enjoy a sweet mutual
friendship with her during the last
years of her life; Though growing old
in years shejwas young in spirit and
was a cheerful and welcome companion
for the old and young.
The funeral services were held on
the afternoon of Friday, December 4,
1914, by the Rev. W. J. Snyder.
“Let angels sing a sweeter song
Because her love has shone on
‘earth;
Rejoice, thou blessed redeemed
throng,
That now her soul has heavenly
birth.” *
A Devoted Friend.
Mr*. Cornell Entertain*.
Mrs. A. P. Cornell entertained the
Friday afternoon Bridge Club last week.
The rdoms of her beautiful home were
thrown en suite and presented a charm
ing picture to the eyes of her guests.
After several games it was found that
Mrs. R. S. Dicks had made the highest
score and she was awarded the first
prize, a beautiful crocheted towel.
Mrs. E. L. Patterson cut the consola
tion prize, a dainty hand-made work-
bag. An appetizing salad course, with
hot chocolate, was served.
