All listened with hearts united by the bond of human sym- pathyto the words so feelingly spok- en by her pastor, Mr. Latimer, from the thought, Death is swallowed up in 'victory, " "Although only ih "her twenty-fourth year, and with an out- look for the future, made bright by the presence of a loving family and kind friends, no thought of a pre- mature severing of earthly connec- tions, filled the minds 6f her friends as they thought of the ready sym- pathy and kindly interest which she had always manifested in them. With a smile always cheerful, no matter how dark the day, Maud had pursued the path of doing the duty near at hand well, and then turning to the next. The pall bearers were six young men, Frank Harris, Frank Wilson, Orville Lyle, Dan. Ormiston, Charles Wilson and Roy Brawn. The flowers from distant and near friends and relatives were many and showed the esteem in which she was held. She leaves to mourn the loss of a thoughtful and kind member of the home, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Corner, one sister, Mrs. W. New, of Oshawa, and two brothers, Russell and Gordon at home. We do not know, Where falls the seed that we have have tried to sow, With greatest care, But we shall know The meaning of each waiting hour below, Sometimes, somewhere!
