The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, in Mason, on
Wednesday at 1:30 p. m., conducted by the Rev. S. A. Haupert
assisted by Rev. J. P. Whitehead, of Newport, Ky. Six
sisters of the deceased acted as pall-bearers, viz:
Mrs. C. W. Gorsuch, Mrs. R. Dill, Mrs.
John Baysore, Mrs. Wm. Robinson, Mrs.
Chas. Bennett and Miss Dee Crone.
The interment was in the Mason
Cemetery.
There is no death that goes unmarked of sadness, but this one it seems
more justly merits tears than any one it has been our painful duty to
record.
She was a woman of infinite goodness, one whose every waking thought and
sleeping dream was of her home, her husband and especially her children.
As the news was heralded from her sick chamber of the ever increasing
seriousness of her illness one and all within themselves felt a desire
to say with desperate determination "it can not, it must not be"
that she shall die and leave these little ones without a mother's care.
On yonder hill a fond husband and father has almost completed a house
that will lack nothing in its comforts. It was to be their little happy
world, a home of pleasure
[illegible]
Despite all known human efforts this could not be and at midnight, last
Sunday night her hours of life were ended and she passed to that repose
that knows no pain or grief or fear.
"Peace Let Her Rest,
God knoweth best"
At the solemn services befitting her death were being feelingly and eloquently
said by the Rev. J. P. Whitehead, of Newport, Ky., her
former pastor, to an audience that overflowed the Presbyterian church,
not only among those present on the occasion, as they thought of the husband
and children, but in every home where she was known, lips said
"God be pitiful
Who ne'er said God be praised.
Be Pitiful O God!"
