LESHER. - On the 23d of February, 1899, near Scotland, Franklin Co., Pa., of la grippe and old age, Sister Anna Lesher, widow of the late Daniel Lesher, aged 79 years, 7 months and 10 days. Grandmother Lesher, as she was familiarly called, was loved by all who knew her. She is survived by three step-sons and five step-daughters, and many friends to mourn their loss, but we believe our loss is her eternal gain. Her husband died over thirty years ago. Buried on the 25th at the Chambersburg Mennonite M. H., of which congregation she was a member since her youth. Services were conducted by Pre. Peter Wadel and Bish. Michael Horst in German and Pre. George Ernst in English. Text, 2 Tim. 4:6-8.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain,
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis ours to miss thee, all our years,
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so
He giveth His beloved sleep.
Oh grandmother, thy voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still,
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting death's cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy lovely brow,
And In our aching hearts we know
We have no grandmother now. GRAND-DAUGHTER
