Mrs. Mary Beardsley Warner, wife of Henry Warner died at her home, in North Colesville [Broome Co.,  NY] Sunday afternoon Feb. 5th.  The closing hours of her life witnessed her husband and children gathered at her side.  She had for more than a year been a sufferer from Bright's Disease.  She never gave up to her infirmities, however, until two weeks ago when her symptoms became more alarming.  She had no fear of death.  To her it was but a transition to a more beautiful life, but the wealth of her affection for her family moved her to a longing to be with those she loved and for whom she had always toiled as only a good wife and devoted mother can.  To her, it was the greatest privilege of her earthly existence to be permitted to be always doing something for her family  She glorified the home with the sweetness of her love and her every prayer to God asked that He would  help her to make the example of her life an inspiration for good to her husband and children.  She lived in the filial fear of God.  It was her joy to do His will as she understood that will.  The fulfillment of the promise that "The pure in heart shall see God" is her reward and she strove always to merit it.  She was a member of the M.E. church and had been since a young girl.  She was born in Coventry N.Y. [Chenango Co., NY] 67 years ago.  Her living children are:  Frank Warner of Tunnel, Mrs. Jennie Hayes and Harold Warner of North Colesville and Mrs. Mable Young of Asbury Park, N.J.  She is also survived by twelve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.  Of her father's family, she is survived by two sisters and three brothers.  [MHD notation:  d.
 
"Well done of God, to halve the log,
And give her all the sweetness:
To us, the empty room and cot:
To her, the heaven's completeness.
To us, this grave; to her, the vows,
The mystic palm-tree spring in:
To us, the silence in the house,
To her, the choral singing.
For her, to gladden in God's view:
For us, to hope and bear on.
Grow Lily, in thy garden new,
Beside the Rose of Sharon."
