The Year Ended with Sadness
I haven't words to express my thanks to the people of Wellington for their
kindness during my short illness and death of my dear husband.
I pray that the coming year will not bring to you what the past brought to me.
 Only one year ago today, the 20th, there was no where a happier couple.  
But that happiness lasted only ten months and twelve days.  Today, our
wedding day, there is no where a sadder heart and life.
Mrs. Louis Stall.
