Obituary.
 
In membory of Mary Jane BAUGHMAN who who was borned May 5th, 1827.  Professed faith in Christ at the age seventeen and joined the church at Thompson Creek in 1852. where she lived a devout member until death which occured March 10, 1910.  Truly we feel our incompletnesy of doing justice to the membory of this good woman.  Had those who knew her best been asked to name the most noble pious Christian of their knowledge the above name character would have been among the first in mind to mention.  A gentle, quiet, patient, loving, self sacrificing spirit characterized her noble life which was fought with many trials and afflictions.  She was left a lone widow with five children to rear which she did most accreditable until the youngest Edward a lovely noble boy of much promise had arrived in the years of manhood when he was suddenly and ruthlessly torn from her fond embrace by being killed and burned while assisting to rescue property from a burning building.  This was endescriable grief to that mother.  We cannot think of any afflictions more sever.  She was about prostrate yet her faith and trust in God failed not and these experiences of suffering seemed only to refine the gold in her nature until she as it were a sheaf ready for the sickle of death which came as a relief to loose the pent up spirit from its fetters of disease and afflictions to soar far beyond the reach of all earthly cares to be transplanted into paradise of God there to dwell forever with loved ones gone before and to be eternally in the presence of the God she so much loved
We tender to the sorrowing daughters and relatives our sincere sympathy and say to them and the church strive to emulate the example this noble saint has left upon record and may we all meet her in that beautiful that blest forever is our sincere prayer.
