Again the angel of death entered our midst, and this time claimed a life that was in bloom and adorned a happy home to its capacity until recently, when sickness began to spread a pall of gloom among family and friend Another home is overshadowed with sorrow due to this departure and another family is feeling the pangs of death because of the loss of one beloved. Short was her life but pure and useful, being aware of the fact that her mission in this world was to fill her place that our Savior has assigned to all those who enter into matrimony. Noble was her character, truthful and unassuming and she endeavored in every way to do her share in fashioning this earthly path to make it more beautiful. In the midst of her noble work her health began to fail, but none of her family and near relatives assumed that her death was so near. After a brief illness she relapsed into a coma Friday, March 3rd, from which she never rallied. Everything in the power of human hands and skilled physicians was applied but to no avail. She passed away on Sunday, March 5th, at high noon quietly, when nature was sprinkling a blanket of snow over the mournful home, as if the color of innocence were sprinkled from angels' hands in consolation to the bereaved family. She slumbered away at the age of 42 years, 9 months and 26 days.
