Nettie Alice COMPTON, was born Aug. 11th, 1859, at Nevada, Iowa, moved with her parents to Nebraska in 1860. She was married to W.A. HAW at Seward, Neb., July 10th, 1879, came to Washington Dec. 20th, 1895. Mrs. Haw has been an invalid for five years, and a great sufferer the past eight months. She was the most patient of sufferers. Throughout all these months she was never heard to murmur or complain. Although she had a great desire to live, she often expressed her readiness and willingness to go "if God's will," and on July 31st, when the great orb of day was at his zenith in the heavens, her pure spirit took its happy flight to the land of everlasting morning. She was a devoted wife, an affectionate mother, a kind and loveable friend. Whe the end came, she was surrounded by those she loved, her husband, little daughter, mother, and two sisters being at her bedside. Her aged father having returned to his home in Nebraska a few days previous. The funeral was conducted in th! e home Sunday by Rev. Bowman and the body laid to rest in the cemetery south of town. Mr. Haw's mother died in Noristown, Penn, June 30, and at this time his father is thought to be very near the door of death. The sympathy of the entire community go out to him in this, his great bereavement. We commend him, in these his lonely hours of sorrow, to the Comforter of his sainted wife and mother.
