The going out of this young and lovely life once again reminds us of the shortness of time and of the necessity of being always ready to answer the summons from time to eternity. Surely in the midst of life we are in death. Mrs Blosser always lived at New Stark, being absent only in the years of '79 and '80 while attending school at the Ada Normal. The death of her mother when she was but five years old seemed to strengthen the ties of affection between herself and father, endeared her to her grandparents with whom for four or five years following her mother's death she made her home, and bound her to her brother with more than a sister's ordinary love. She was united in marriage to Noah Blosser, June 21st, 1881, and so soon is a happy wedded life broken up the the dissolution of her body and spirit; a devoted husband is bereft of a loving and faithful wife; a little infant, five months old, even before it knows a mother's love is left to its father's care; near and dear once everywhere mourn the loss of one who was to them so much. She was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church. Here was a true Christian character, adorned with all the graces of womanhood which thus early made her meet for the rest prepared for Christ's ransomed. Funeral services were conducted by Revs Brenamen and Z B Campbell from the Mennonite church. As a last token of love and respect a very large concourse of friends followed her remains to their last resting place.
