Mrs. Edmond Martin.
"The mortal remains of Mrs. Edmond Martin, née Cecilia Acadie Mouton, daughter of the late General Alfred Mouton, were borne to their resting place last Friday, and the portals of the tomb were forever closed between a mother and a husband and nine little children. To grieve for those we love on earth alone gives solace to the sorrowing heart, and the most stoic nature gives vent to feelings of sympathy and love when grim visaged Death crosses the threshold of the family and takes away from its circle one of its dearest ornaments. The death of any one is deemed by friends and relatives an irreparable loss. The father, the son the sister are snatched away from earthly associations not without causing intense sorrow to those who knew them well and loved them much. But no one who has not sustained the loss of a mother can feel the keen anguish that the filial affections must endure when that saddest hour in one's life comes around. What other affliction so overwhelms the heart with sorrow as the death of a mother?

The death of Mrs. Martin has deprived a once happy home of one who was interwoven with its very existence and indispensable to its happiness. Nine young children, the oldest of whom is about 15 years old, will engage in life's unequal struggle without the assistance of a mother. In health they will miss her unselfish advice and in illness the sweet ministrations of the maternal hand. In future years they will look back to those days of their childhood when her admirable character shone in all its resplendent lustre. Even though they have been bereft of her assistance at a tender age it is a great privilege to have known and felt her benign influence at a period in life when principles of honesty and virtue are stamped upon the innocent heart. Before the rude contact of the world renders the soul impervious to the moral influences of the home every lineament of the youthful character receives the impress of the mother's example.

The death of this splendid Christian woman may well be mourned, for she was a kind and dutiful mother. She practiced rather than preached the principles of revealed religion. She performed that most difficult task. She did her duty as a mother well while she lived, and when she was summoned to the eternal home of all human-kind she answered the call from the great white throne with that spirit of humble submission that distinguishes the true Christian."
