In Memoriam.

Departed this life in this city May 31, at 8.30 o'clock p. m., Third
avenue, between First and Second streets, Abigail O. Law, aged 23
years, 3 months and 14 days.  Her maiden name was Brallier.  She was
married on the 22d of last September to John H. Law.  Abigail was one
of those amiable persons whom to know was to love.  She became a
follower of the Savior in her younger years, and when her modest,
retiring nature was graced by Christian virtues she became one of
those model Christians who are the glory of the church, the pride of a
neighborhood and the comfort of friends.  She lived a happy life and
died a peaceful death.  During her lingering sickness no word of
complaint escaped her lips.  She continued sensible to the last and
made suitable selections for the funeral ceremonies and requested the
friends to tell the attending physicians that she believed they did
all for her that human skill could prescribe.  She was attended by
Drs. Brehman, Ewing and Bulick.  We condole with the bereft and
smitten friends, for we painfully feel that their loss is great, but a
balm is left - the comforting assurance that it is well for her.

"Wherefore weep?  Her matchless spirit soars beyond,
Where splendid shines the orb of day.
And weeping angels lead her to their bower,
Where endless pleasures virtue's deeds repay.

The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from her late
residence.
