        Our old and tried friends, Mr. and Mrs. REED, have our sympathy.
      We know just how they are left.  There is a vacant spot in the heart
      of the parent that loses a child.  We have been with them in their
      trouble, and we are glad to be able to say that they were always
      ready to assist in such a time of need.  They are missed here.  The
      two children are missed in our school, but our loss is their gain,
      for there is no doubt but that they are in a better world.  The
      youngest, while on her death-bed, only a few hours before her death,
      asked her mother to sing, and struck up and sang a verse from the
      beautiful song, "Ring the Bells of Heaven."  These were nearly the
      last words she spake.  It was very trying for the mother, but it was
      good proof that she was going to a better world.         "J"

      DIED:
      REED - In Pentwater; May 3, 1871, LUELLA, daughter of GEORGE and
        ALMIRA REED, aged 14 years.
      REED - In Pentwater, May 6, 1871, LYDIA, daughter of GEORGE and
        ALMIRA REED, aged 10 years.
        The bereaved parents have now only one child left, and she is
      dangerously ill, although it is hoped that her life may be spared.
      Only those who have been through the same deep waters of affliction
      can fully sympathize with these stricken mourners.
