An Obituary

A Brother’s Tribute to a Deceased Sister

Last month the Journal noticed the death at San Francisco of Miss Lizzie Chase,
formerly of Reno, and at the request of the mother of the deceased, the
following, written for the New York Sunnyside, by the dead girl’s brother, is
reproduced: “It is with sad heart and moistened eyes that we record the flight
to her heavenly home of Lizzie Taylor Chase, the beloved daughter of L.T. and
Mrs. L.M. Chase, and dearly loved sister of Mrs. Annie L. Conners and Frank H.
Chase.  The sorrowful event occurred at San Francisco, California, June 7th, of
typhoid, after a short illness, despite the most assiduous nursing and the skill
of two eminent physicians, Drs. McNulty and McNutt.  During the brief 19 years
in which she gladdened the hearts of her mother and relatives, she was an
earthly angel of goodness.  With tender care and loving devotion she for years
nursed an invalid mother, who is left heartbroken by her great loss.  In
character the dear one was most lovely.  She was a devout Christian, and was a
teacher in her Sunday school.  The funeral services were held on the 9th, the
Rev. Dr. Beers, of Trinity Church, officiating.  All of the young friends of the
loved one, and many friends of the family were present, each with some kindly
word of regret, while many reverently placed beautiful floral remembrances on
the casket.  At the close of the services those present gazed for the last time
on the fair young face, which, thanks to the embalmer’s art, was as natural as
in life.  The casket was then gently borne to the hearse by pall-bearers
selected from among her companions, and was placed, by kind permission of Judge
Quint and wife, in their family plot at Laurel Hill Cemetery.  The obsequies
were in charge of N. Gray & Co., and were conducted throughout in the most
kindly and sympathetic manner.  To them and to the Rev. Dr. Beers, Dr. Franklin
N. Clark, a noble friend in sorrow, to Judge and Mrs. Quint, to the physicians
in attendance, and to many other kind friends, the bereaved family tenders its
most grateful thanks.”
