It is but seldom that our community has been so shocked and saddened as it was by the announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of the above named most estimable young lady. Up to a few hours before her death she was engaged in her ordinary duties and no one suspected that she was afflicted with more than a slight indisposition until a few hours before she died. Her disease was congestion of the lungs. We scarcely know whether to write of her as a child or woman. In her early childhood she exhibited the thoughtful dignity of mature years, while she carried with her into that young womanhood into which she was just budding the sweet graces and purity of her tender years. In intellect and attainments, in steadfastness and earnestness of purpose, in depth of character and appreciation of the responsibilities of life, she was far beyond her years; while in her forgetfulness of self, filial obedience, youthful form and other ways, she yet retained all the charms of her early girlhood. In her home life she was dutiful, helpful, and loving, ministering constantly with gentle and patient care to the wants of others; a child who never brought an anxiety or dread to parent’s heart, and who in heart and life was all that they might reasonably pray that she might become. In school, she was diligent and faithful—not only self-governing—but a positive force, healthful and helpful, in leading others up to higher standards of duty. Four years ago, when but a frail child in size and appearance, she gave her heart, already enriched with many Christian graces and with much study of God’s word to the service of Christ. Her fidelity and zeal in this service have never faltered, and her church life has at all times conformed to the high standard of the faith she has professed. In no circle outside of her home will she be so sadly missed as in her church and Sunday school. We have never seen as large a concourse of persons at a funeral in Spencer before, and while we may have seen as wide-spread sympathy manifested upon former occasions, yet we have not before seen as many loving mourners weeping for a lost one. It speaks well of our humanity that a life so short, so quiet and gentle, armed only with the power of loving and doing the right, could enkindle in so many hearts such admiration of love.
