She .has left a husband and eleven children, with whom we deeply and sincerely mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate wife, and a fond and devoted motherrBut for her there is ho cause for grief, for she had "fought the good fight and kept the faith." Her work was dohe and she: has gone to her parents and friends. Here are very many who have known sister Lovina from the days of her girlhood when her kind and loving father, our beloved martyred prophet, brother Hyrumr Smith, was with us. She is his eldest child. It has been my happy lot, which I consider no ordinary privilege to spend many Interesting and profit-ab'- e seasons in listening to her descriptions of scenes and circumstances connected with her father's life. I first became acquainted with Sister Walker in May, 1850; I with my two little children and an elderly sister who was living with me, had come from Philadelphia with the Emigration on my way to the Valley. I had expended my last, means and had no provisions left we arrived inJlorenceat 9 o'clock p. m.t it was dark and raining, the brethren helped us from the wagons into a vacant house and we went to rest as eoon M.fkslIb1efT7r'-.vT'7T?"'Early next morning we we e awakaned by some one knocking at the door, the sister With me opened it, there stood a little girl with a J cup of in ilk i n her b and , she asked i f ' there was a little weman there with two little children," the sister told her 4,yes" and 'asked her fo come in, she did so and when she saw me said, ."If. you: please, my m k wants to see y ou , I she has sent this milk to your little kirls." I asked her ma's name, thinking it was some one I knew, but when she told me I knew no one ' by, that name I accordingly went to her mother's house; she met me at the door with both hands stretched towards jme in welcome. "Good morning Sister Elizabeth," said she. E told her she had the advantage of me as I did not remember ever seeing her before. fc$be said j "No and I never saw; you before; I am Hy rain Smith's daughter, my father came to me three times last night and told me that you were a child of God, that you was without money, provisons or friends and that I must help you.r The first time he came to me, I awoke my husband and told him; not liking to be disturbed, he told me I was dreaming, that It was only fancy. My father came to me again and told me your name, ho also told me to send ray little girl with some milk and prove to my husband that it was jiot fancy." She requested" me to go for my children and the' sitter that was with'me to come Into breakfast, and afterwards, I learned that the last food she had in the house was on the table that morning; after breakfast she went to Bro. Johnson, told him the circumstance and asked him her for me was while in Florence, which I provide he did directly, as I havo since learned. When I left Florence I did not ee her again for thirteen years; then Bro. Hyrum came to me In a dream and told me to go to Farmlngton and help Lovina as she was sick; being unable to ge I sent my daughter to; see her, who wrote me. to come directly as my: dream was Jloo; . . , . - . - ' From that. time to this w.o have not been;' separated long audi thank God- our Father, ' for the friendship that exited between us, and ' hope' to live the rest of my life so that when : go hence there will be one happy greeting, friend ready to welcome me where sorrow -. : will be known no more. - : I-- one-dea- r -- Ffiere gloxalted senBe aqd t !v Tberc keener aDgwish rankles Jijtlie poind,,, ft j There feeling1 ia diffused through' every p&rtj " J'' Tnttlto in ach nerve and lln in atf the Eearirfn' tasto-rteSjie- d, i . , .
