Mrs. Nelms Dead

The friendless lost a friend and the inconsolably afflicted a comforter
when Mrs. Amanda M. Nelms passed peacefully away to her everlasting
reward at 10 o'clock on Friday night.

The end of this long and useful life was such as anyone might desire.
She had been unusually well for some time past, and on Friday had driven
out to Luella with no apparent fatigue. At 9 o'clock she had retired
after taking a dose of some medicine. A little later she called in her
daughter, Mrs. Smith, asked for a stimulant as she was not feeling well.

Mrs. Smith was alarmed by her appearance and sent for a doctor, but her
mother was dying as the doctor came. The cause of the death was heart
failure from which she had suffered for several years past. - Griffin
