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.
