To the Editor of The Northwest: Though stricken with grief attendant upon the death of our beloved child, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to the many kind friends who ministered to her comfort during her illness, and mingled their tears of sweet sympathy with ours at her death. So long as acherished memory of our lost Minnie remains, so long will the fullness of our gratitude go out to our friends. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brown. Napoleon, O., March 18, 1886.
