In Memory.
Mrs, Allie N. Calavan was born near
Fairbusb, Pulaski county, Kentucky,
on the 3d. day of January, 1876, and
was united In marriage to G. L, Cala
vau of Linn county, Oregon, on tbe
17tb,day of July 1S92. With a true
and loving spirit, she was always
found a faithful help-meet to ber com
panion. Her earnest desire was to
make her husband happy, and all
with whom she came in contact. She
united with the Christian church in
Uctober lU4, and has since been a
zealous advocate of tbe cause she had
espoused, aud full of the spirit that
whispers of a better land. Conscious
that the time of her departure was at
hand, she was resigned. Being afflic
ted with cousumptlon for many
months, and in her extreme suffering,
she looked with true christian forti
tude to Him who has promised to be
with the faithful uuto the end; in
hope of blessed immortality, quietly
passed away on the eveniug of May
24, 1896, age nineteen years, four
months and twenty one days, She
leaves behind a husband, father, two
brothers and many friends to mourn
her loss.
We laid ber to rest 'ncsih the dark brown
DM.
The casket that held the jewel rare,
But the beautiful gom retumea' to Uod,
To shine forever in glory there.
We'll tiei-r her no more ou nights of
prayer,
When together we, meet our God to
praise,
But forever and ever free bom sorrow
and care.
In loud hallelujahs her voice she'll
raise.
