Mrs. Lamunyan was a woman who possessed in tense magnetic power. She was a good conversationist, and was able to discuss any subject that was presented, but always ready to give way if she was in the wrong. She was kind and forgiving, a strong advocate of the right, a Christian at heart, and a firm believer in the existence of the soul after the death of the body. She was never known to willfully injure any one, and was ever ready to make amends for any wrong un wittingly done. She was a good judge of character, and was seldom mistaken in the conclusions which She formed. During the last five years of her life she suffered from dropsy and rheumatism, being obliged to sit in her chair day and night, unable to lie down and resting in a sitting posture,her only recreation being her books and correspondence, which occupied all her time, with the exception of the Society of Loyal Home Workers who met at her house once a month. She bore her confine ment and suffering with a fortitude that was marvel lous, always exhibiting a cheerful disposition and when death came to relieve her of her afflictions, she passed away peacefully and without a struggle, with a firm hope of eternal life beyond the grave. She left a hus band and daughter to mourn her loss, who are cheered with the thought that her spirit is where all suffering is over, in the presence of God who gave it.
