Sister Lark, or Aunt Mary," as she was affectionately designated by those who knew her intimately was a consistent and upright Latter-da- y Saint, arid was regarded as a model woman in her daily life and conversation, never speaking ill of any one.

Cannon, with whom she had been intimately associated in past yearsas nurse and companion in times of sicknessand some of them were acquainted with ' her for thirty years. Her loss will be deeply felt, for she vas beloved by relatives,, neighbors and friends; but our loss is her gain, and those who remain have no need for sorrow, except that of missing her society here Our beloved ones are not lost, they are safe,' and those who loved them here should not mourn without hope of meeting them again, but.strive to follow in their footstep&hat they may attain to the same n.
