Mrs. Hearne was a shut-in during her last years. She was confined to her room and roIling-chair. She suffered much, but did so patiently, as she awaited the end.
The greatest consolation we have—we who knew and loved her—is to know that she truly could say:
The toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way.
On the fifteenth day of December in 1956, she closed her eyes to things material, to awake in the Eternal Dawn, in the presence of her Christ, whom she loved.
