Mrs. Young has indeed been a great suffered. Mr. Hazel and Mrs. Harris have stayed faithfully by her bedside during the long days and nights of many weeks careing for their sister during her tolerable sufferings. But in the midst of all her pain Mrs. Young maintained her full consciousness and fully and wisely made for her businees for both before and after her decease, fortelling the end with accuracy. She spoke of Christian faith and departed ones.
