Lund spoke in the highest terms of the character and lite of the good woman. Amasa Aldrich was requested to read a poem written by one of Mrs. Reynold's daughters as she was coming com-ing here to attend the funeral. It is as follows: v e are coming home dear mother, Xot as we used to do, To greet with loving smile and kiss, But to bid good-by to you. To bid good-by to the dear old home. Where first we saw the light, Where we dwelt with the dear ones, We loved with all our might. When town was in the old fort wall, Our home stood out alone; Although the town's grown far and wide, Ours is still the dear old home. The mill stands in the same old place, The stream has changed its bed. And in place of making flour, Now it makes drink instead. There are many dear old land marks. That we remember still, But none are held in memory, So well as the dear old mill. In coming to our home again, It fills our hearts with pain, Well knowing that our mother dear. Will never speak to us again. In coming home, we have no home, There's many such another, This makes the saying still more true, 'What is home with out a mother?' - Written by Rosetta Farnworth. -.
