from her a few days ago. and dated Nov. 

 17th : 



Death has visited our little home since my 

 return from Chicago. My father has 

 crossed the river, and is now reunited with 

 my mother and many other loved ones who 

 have gone before. He shouted ■' Halleu- 

 jah,'' and praised God all along through 

 his last illness. He fell sweetly asleep at 

 8:20 a.m.. on Nov. 7th, without a moan, 

 sigh or struggle. 



I have a little niece staying with me to 

 go to school, otherwise I am entirely alone 

 here. I love my home and friends in this 

 place very much, and exceedingly regret 

 the necessity of ever having to leave them. 

 But such is life. 



My father enjoyed very much hearing 

 me tell of the wonders I saw at the World's 

 Fair. In speaking of it a few days before 

 his departure, he said that all the grandeur, 

 people, etc.. that I saw at the World's Fair, 

 was only as a grain of sand upon the sea- 

 shore compared to Heaven and eternity, 

 and the glory to which he was going. He 

 was so rejoiced to think that God was 

 going to release him from his great suffer- 

 ing. 



I spent three days on my return trip in 

 Dallas, with my son?. 



In the biographical sketch of myself, on 

 page 557, the 175 names on the bridge peti- 

 tion, were all ladies, and should have been 

 so mentioned. The bridge, without ap- 

 proaches on each side, cost $3,500. The 

 parenthesis in the name Orga(i)n, on page 

 555, was splendid. She is a music and art 

 teacher. 



I am so glad I went to Chicago. The trip 

 will be an oasis in the desert of my life as 

 long as I live. I am also glad I got home 

 when I did. Father lived just three weeks 

 and one night after my return. 



Mrs. S. E. Sherman. 



We. with the many others, had the very 

 great pleasure of meeting Mrs. Sherman at 

 the late North American couVeutiou. and 

 our readers will know her from reading her 

 biographical sketch a few weeks ago. The 

 Bee Journal desires to unite with the bee- 

 keeping friends in extending to Sister Sher- 

 man sincerest sympathy in this time of 

 of her bereavement.
