Her Troubles Over

Nellie Florence, a poor unfortunate, who wandered from the paths of rectitude
and virtue and adopted a life of shame, died at a late hour Wednesday evening of
pneumonia at the house of John Singleton on Plaza street.  She was penniless
when taken sick, but her more prosperous sisters tenderly cared for her, and
when their own means were exhausted, appealed to the charitably inclined.  Her
body was taken to Saunder’s undertaking rooms and from there the funeral took
place this afternoon.  All day long members of her class hovered over the
lifeless clay, and although their hearts had been burdened for years, many a
tear and sob told that there still existed that one touch of pity which makes
the whole world kin.
