DEATH OF MRS. ELSLEY.

At 12 o'clock on Sat. night last at the residence of her son, Mr. C. D. Bowman, Mrs. Elsley passed peacefully away. During the past two weeks, she has been seriously ill, and her physician, Dr. Ullyott, had but slight hope of her recovery. For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. Elsley resided in the village of West Montrose, but for some time past, owing to increasing feebleness, the old couple found a comfortable home in the commodious residence of her son, about a mile north of the village. There kind and loving hands ministered to the requirements of paralytic weakness, and encircled by tenderness and affection after a useful honored life this estimable lady in her seventy-eight year passed calmly to her eternal home. The funeral was held on Wednesday Oct. 19^th after the hour of 10 o'clock a.m., the interment being at West Montrose cemetery. The various members of the family, who resided in Pennsylvania and New York arrived in time to see their well beloved mother prior to her departure for a better world; Mr. Byron Bowman, a successful druggist of Lyons, N. Y., Mr. George Bowman, Banker, and Rev. John Lynn M. A., Mr. Lynn and daughter Lida were present at the death bed. The beautiful and devoted life in harmony with the pure and ennobling graces of Christian character will live on in the memory of all who knew her in a more vital memorial than that of marble, a life that lives on, a blessed inspiration to surviving relatives and friends, pointing with no uncertain hand to a glorious immortality. Deceased was in her 78^th year.

He encouraged them to look to Christ in all their trials and troubles and reminded them of the many cheering promises given unto all who put their trust in him who died for all. To them was born a family of eight children"

OBITUARY FOR ABRAHAM S. CLEMMENS

Died on the first day of the recent Christmas holidays, that is on December 25th last, Abraham S. Clemmens died in Waterloo township, Waterloo County, Canada West of apoplexy. He was formerly of Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. He was born in 1790 in Lower Salford township, in the aforementioned Montgomery county, and died at the age of 77 years, 9 months, and 18 days. He entered the holy state of matrimony on May 19, 1812 with Rachel Derstein of Bucks county, and emigrated to Canada with his family in the year 1825. He was happily married for approximately 52 years, and a widower for 3 years and 22 days. He sired 8 children, 6 of whom are still living, namely 3 sons and 3 daughters.

His descendants, with 51 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren, number consequently, 89 souls. On the day he died, he arose healthy and happy, sat down to breakfast after he had directed a loud and earnest prayer to the Giver of all good. He shoved aside a coffee cup which was sitting near him, and reached for the jug, to pour himself a drink of water, when suddenly, his hand fell. His son George, who had also just risen from the table, hurried over to help his father; his soul wanted to take leave of his body, and no human effort was of any help to him. He was speedily carried to his bed; but, he did not open his eyes again; his speech became weak and during the night that followed, approximately at 11.30 p.m., he slept away to his Lord. The deceased was generally respected and loved, and after he had accomplished much good, and ,we hope, useful things during his active life, he peacefully paid the debt of nature. For many years, he was the head of the Mennonite congregation there, and his eye was ever watchful over his flock. On the 29th instant, his body was taken to Cressman's Mennonite meeting-house, accompanied by a large number of friends and acquaintances, and committed to mother-earth, on which occasion the Rev. Hagey (at the deceased's house), and the Rev. Enoch Derstein (at the grave), spoke words of comfort and instruction to the crowd present, based on the text in the latter part of Verse 12, Chapter 4 of the Book of Amos: " Because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, 0 Israel!"
