Miss Pearl Crawford died at her home in this city, last Saturday afternoon, of consumption, after an illness of about three years. During all her illness she bore the acute suffering caused by the dread disease with a patience bourne of great fortitude, but ere the messenger of death had summoned her to a brighter life on the other shore, she was only waiting, ready and willing to go. The cloud of gloom which envelopes the relatives and friends, is pierced with one bright ray of light�her suffering is o'er, she is with her heavenly father in peace.
