was intense, but he bore it bravely, and said he was going to rest and 
to live with his boy who had gone before. When the Lord called he smiled 
a happy smile and calmly entered his Heaven of rest. Oh let us live such 
lives that when the Lord calls us we may enter our rest as calmly as 
he who has gone before. Everything was done that could be done, but 
nothing could stay the cold hand of death. He leaves to mourn

We have lost our darling father
He has bid us all adieu
He has gone to live in Heaven
And his form is lost to view.
Oh how hard to give him up
But an angel came down for him
And removed him from our flock 

We miss thee from our home father
We miss thee from thy place
A shadow o'er our life is cast
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss they kind and willing hand
Thy fond and earnest care
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere 

Weep not that his toils are over
Weep not that his race is run
God grant that we may rest as calmly
When our work, like his is done
Till then we yield with gladness
Our father to him keep
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth His loved one sleep.

Mrs. Lucretia Fox, nee Snyder, was born December 19, 1839 and died at
her home in Mt. Morris, May 7, 1911. She was united in marriage to J.B.
Fox, May 26, 1866. Five children were born to bless their union, four of
whom are now living: Martha Ellen Wade of Mt. Morris, Mrs. W.H. Fox of
California, Alice, at home, and C.E. Fox of Farmington, W.Va..

Mrs. Fox dated her spiritual birth from about 1862, and was a life long 
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Mt. Morris. She was by nature, 
quiet and unassuming, in religious life as well as in other relations, 
but her love for God was shown by a faithful devoted life of service, 
rearing her children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord" She was 
a severe sufferer for several months before her death, and could not but 
know that the end was near. Although she clung to life with a vitality 
that was remarkable, yet she expressed herself as ready for the great 
change that awaits us all, and willing to answer the call. She lived for 
her children with a marked devotion, such as mothers know and it was a 
great sorrow for her, as well as for the family, that her son Will was 
detained from her bedside by an unfortunate and serious accident that made 
it impossible for him to make the long trip home. She called for him 
constantly, and it almost seemed that her spirit held back when nature 
was breaking under the strain, loath to go without seeing her boy again. 
Her going leaves a lonely home and sad hearts, yet her loved ones sorrow 
not as those who have no hope, but rather as those whose hope reaches 
away into the presence of God himself, where "we shall find again 
those whom we have loved long since, and lost awhile." The funeral 
services were conducted in the home of her pastor F. L. Tee's, assisted 
by the Rev. Mr. Auvil, and the precious just was laid away in "God's 
acre," there to await the time, when the seed we sow in sadness shall 
spring up in the beauty and richness of the harvest that awaits the soul, 
when "this mortal shall have put on immortality." The family unite in 
publicly expressing their sincere appreciation of the unfailing sympathy 
and kindness shown by neighbors and friends in the time of their bereavement.

From the slumbers there with God.

Farewell, dear Virgie, death has torn you,

From your friends fond embrace.

Never more to see your face.

In that blissful world we'll meet you,

When the storm of life is past.

While eternal ages last.

May thy death be a blessing to each member of thy home and all the friends
