MRS. JOHN DEAN

The Colfax Chronicle, March 14, 1914

DIED

At one o'clock Thursday, March 5th the death angel entered and took Mrs. A.
Dean, the beloved wife of Mr. John Dean, from her loved ones on earth to those
in heaven.  Her remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Zion cemetery.

Mrs. Dean was a kind, patient and loving wife and mother; never grew
impatient, too tired or felt too badly to administer tot eh sufferings of her
loved ones; was never so happy as while trying to ease their pains.

Home can never be the same, her place can never be filled, the heartaches of
the husband and little children can never be healed.  It is so hard to give
her up and the sorrow seems greater than we can bear; but, dear ones, He who
knoweth and doeth all things for the best saw that which we cannot--saw that
it was best to take her form this world of sin and sorrow to that home of joy
and peace where sorrow never comes; where heartaches are never felt and where
good-byes are never said.

We must try to realize that it is not for long and that she will be standing
at the golden gate with our loved ones who have gone before to welcome our
coming--and not weep too much. Let us go to Him who never forsakes or tires of
listening to our prayers but will help us to bear all our burdens, will
comfort us in our distress and help us to so live that we, like her will be
ready and willing to go when Gods summons comes.

ONE WHO LOVED HER
