191 yjy ILLIWOCO KK 1-W.C ROSEMARY ' S FOR REMEMBRANCE. The late suniniei days of last year marked the passing of two elect ladies wlu) wei ' e intiniately associated with the College in its early history. Mrs. Matilda S. Andrews, wife of Rev. Reuben Andrews, president of the College for one year, 1855-56, was a lady of rare grace and sweetness of char- acter, and yet was positive and strong in her convictions regarding all matters of faith and duty. She was quietly preparing for a homeward journey from the summer ' s stay in Michigan, when the gates of the heavenly home opened to hei , and she entered in. At the home of her daughter, in Denver, Mrs. Lydia C. McCoy, widow of Rev. Asa McCoy, who had presided over the College two years, from 1856 to 1858, received the summons that called her to her coronation for a well-spent life. Every demand that life brought to her was met with ready, glad response, and with buoyant faith this mother in Israel heard the distant call. No former president of the College is numbered with the living. Mrs. W. H. DeMotte, widow of President DeMotte, resides in Indianapolis. Mrs. W. F. Short is with her daughter, Mrs. Wadsworth, in Providence, R. I. 26
