Mrs. Mamie Hunt Dead

Loved and respected by a large circle of friends, was Mrs. Mamie Hunt.
For this reason are the hearts of her friends and relatives bowed in
grief at the announcement of her death, which occurred last Sunday
morning.

Her death was due to a complication of troubles. All that medical skill
and loving hands could do for her restoration were done, but in the
bloom of young womanhood, and in the freshness of the Holy Sabbath
morning she quietly passed to that "sleep from which none ever wake to
weep."

The deceased was the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. H. Howell, and
her life, in its beauty and purity was an inspiration to those who
became acquainted with her.

The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. S.R. England on Monday after
which the remains were laid at rest in the Methodist cemetery.

Our hearty sympathy is with the bereaved ones. But such must be the
experience of us all, sooner or later, and sad as is this dispensation
of God's providence is, we may gather from it a silent warning that our
probationary existence is brief. - E.E.L.
