BURKHOLDER
On the 31st of Aug. 1894, at the home of her parents, near Harrisonburg, Va., of brain fever, Mary E., daughter of our ministering brother Abraham and sister Nancy Burkholder, aged 16 years and 24 days. Six days was she ill, and on the morning of the 7th the sands of life ran out and her spirit winged itself away beyond the scenes of mortal life. Funeral services were held at Weaver's M. H. on the evening of Sept. 1st, and her mortal remains were laid to rest in the "Beautiful city of the dead." Mary's young life was a model of kindness and propriety and full of promise for a long useful life, and why she was thus rudely taken from us we cannot know now, but we shall know hereafter. The family has the sympathy of many loving friends. In the hearts of many her name and image will live and glow in the fullness of love till the "silver cord shall be loosed and the golden bowl be broken." Ah! No more will she hear the music of our beautiful streams or look upon the sun as he lifts himself above the crest of our own blue mountain, for her home, we hope, is in a more beautiful country, "wherein is a river, the stream whereof shall make glad the city of God, and the sun of righteousness shineth forever."
