DYE_ At the home of her aunt Mrs. Sarah  M. Bowen in Zaleski, Ohio, on Wednesday
morning April 20,1887 of typhoid fever, Ida M. Dye eldest daughter of D.B. and
Nancy Dye in the twenty third year of her age.

 At an early age she was a teacher, which vocation she followed until death..
Her success as a teacher was due to some extent to the moral training of her
affectionate parents.

At the age of 17 she obeyed the Gospel and became an honored member of the
Christian Church and remained so until her demise.

On March 2nd, she was seized with the first symptoms of the disease which ended
 in her death. On her sick bed she always greeted her friends with a smile, was
never heard to murmur or complain about her condition and tried to cheer her
parents and friends and urged them to believe she would recover.

When the sad news of Ida's death was made known to the people of Zaleski, all
respect was shown for the lifeless teacher. The Public Schools closed, the bell
tolled, all were sad alike. A number  of the Zaleski people escorted the remains
to Hamden, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev Steele of Zaleski.

 The people of Hamden and surrounding country came to the funeral to pay the
last tribute of respect to their friend and to follow the remains to the last
resting place. 
The parents have lost a kind daughter, the children a loving sister, the Church
an honored member, and the profession a successful teacher, but our loss is
Ida's gain.

Additional Comments:
If you would like a more complete form of the obituary please email. It is
rather descriptive and paints a pleasant picture of a young lady we will never know.
