Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Occasional Verses, Toasts and Sentiments: Selected From the Large Number of Such Productions Composed for Her Friends
A more beautiful legend the great apostle has left us rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.
The passing from earth of this beloved woman, especially near and dear to us in Illinois, gives touching emphasis to a creed and faith the antithesis of pagan philosophy. This lovely woman was rich in gifts, the best that intellect, character and devotion to high ideals represent in the great organization of which she was so vital a part. May her example be for us an inspiration to still more devoted service, still more single-hearted consecration to those great aims to which, as Daughters of the American Revolution, we are pledged.
Death loves a shining mark is not a truism merely in the pass ing away of this loved one, whose sympathetic interest, tender and courageous friendship, have been for me a strong stay and rock to anchor to in days of storm and stress. Her loyal support and warm affections were so Often an inspiration to me, in times that I now recall with pathetic and overwhelming feeling - a cherished friendship that time can neither dim nor blot out. Her's a fidelity that never fal tered, a loyalty that never relaxed, a patience that never wearied, a wisdom that rarely erred, and an unselfish devotion that knew no limit. Never can we forget or cease to cherish her precious memory, rich in all that is most gracious in womanliness, strong and clear in intellect, pure in heart, sweet and noble in Spirit. Splendid in example, and with a magnetism that drew all hearts to her.
