ASBURY,<\/strong> passed peacefully to eternal rest in the early morning hours of February 8th, being a little less than eighteen years of age. \u00a0She had been ill but a few days and therefore her death came as a great surprise and shock to many friends and acquaintances. \u00a0This was a sad death indeed because a young life was so suddenly cut short and because she was a bride of only six months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Her nearest relatives are a young husband, her father and mother, three brothers and two sisters. \u00a0But they sorrow not as those who have no hope; for their loved one surely rests from the labors of a brief life well spent in the Master&#8217;s service. No community could ever boast of a more beautiful, self-sacrificing and loyal spirit than that of Sister TODD. \u00a0At the early age of ten years she joined the Methodist Church in Seversville where she lived and died. \u00a0And from her entrance into the church she was either a teacher or an assistant teacher in the Sunday school, and holding also other offices from time to time in the Sunday school, and Epworth League. \u00a0When the summons came she was choir leader and teacher of a class in Sunday school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Her saintly soul is with God but the world is richer for the privilege of having had so pure a life within it. \u00a0We cherish her memory as one of the most precious of our heritages. \u00a0She acted well her part and lived up to the full measure of duty and when the sun went down there were no clouds. \u00a0Her pure soul has winged its way up &lt;&#8230;&gt; the supernal glory of another world and all we can do is to mourn her and place on her grave our tribute and affection and esteem. \u00a0No; one thinks more we can do. And that is to follow Christ as she followed him til we see her and till we &#8220;see him as &lt;&#8230;&gt; is.&#8221; &#8212; <strong>W.F.
