The Presidents of the Primary Associations, who ably perform the duties pertaining to that particular calling, are worthy of the honor and respecof those, whom 4hey so faithfully server We are always pleased to see deference shown-t- o such persons, asanZalreciatIon of their labors. It is simply just to accord to those who do public duty an expression of good feeling. It encourages them in the future, to know that their work is acceptable.

Sister Hannah Lindstrum Madsen was born Sept. 24th 1850, Sweden. Died May 23d, 1882, at Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete Co. Sister Hannah was the beloved wife of Christian Madsen, and a was a paueni; woman in every circumsiance in life in which yon could place her. She was a faithful and devoted wife, and a most affectionate and loving mother. She was First Counselor ta the President of the North Ward Primary Association in Mt. Pleasant, and indefatigable in the discharge of every duty. Being the only cne of her family who embraced the truth, she zealously preached the Gospel to her father's household, Jbyjetter, striving to make plain to them the great plan of life and salvation but they have persistently rejected it. And now her testimony is sealed. Sister Madsen has been taken from us in the midst af a life of usefulness, and will not soon be forgotten. We deeply sympathize with her good and kind husband, who is left with four lovely children, the eldest only 5 years old, to mourn her early departure. May she rest in peace, till Jhe morning of the ressurrectIon,"when she will again Join her beloved ones, where there will b no more sorrow nor parting. - 9 A " - m . M. F. C. Morrison. |
