LAS VEGAS AGE
9/18/1915

IN MEMORIAM

    Mrs. Margaret PARK, whose death occured at Los Angeles, Sunday, 
September 5, 1915, leaves a heritage of sweet memories to comfort those 
who are left desolate.  During her life in Las Vegas, her kindly acts 
and cheery disposition, bound many to her in ties of friendship, and she 
was universally beloved.
    During the last months her life was one of severe trials and 
disappointments.  In June she was full of happiness in preparing for a 
visit to her old home in Missouri.  In her hurry of preparation, she 
accidently stepped through an open trap and fell into the cellar, 
suffering a broken arm and other serious injuries which confined her to 
bed for weeks.  When she was able to be about, preparations were again 
made for the trip to Missouri.  Although still feeble she was patient 
and uncomplaining, buoyed up by the hope of again seeing the old home 
and friends, only to be stricken with heart trouble, as she was going to 
the train with the family.  Serene and beautiful, patient and courages, 
she died, still uncomplaining, with a sublime faith that all is for 
best.
    Peacefully and happily she lived and died, a comfort and strength to 
those about here, an inspiring example of faith in the kindness of her 
Heavenly Father, ever filled with the courage to say "Thy will be done."
