The face had a youthful appearance with no indication of the cares and sufferings of past years. “Prof. McChesney’s services were appropriate beautiful and comforting. She was tenderly laid away in the cemetery to await the day when the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise. “The home-coming at this season of the year was an event to which she always looked forward with much pleasure. On this occasion, all children and grand-children with the exception of Nellie and her children, were present. “May we not indulge in the hope that she is still looking forward to another and more blessed homecoming when all including those already there will constitute an unbroken circle with non separations? “The precious letters of condolence which have come in from so may quarters go to show that she was not only loved and appreciated by her own family but by many others who had the privilege of knowing her.” [Thus ends the journals!]
