MOTHER PASSED BEYOND
Mrs. Henry Bonsell Died at Home on Twelfth Street

   "One of God's days,
    Beautiful days,
    We shall in glory
    Sing His praise;
    All work is done,
    Victories won.
    We shall see Jesus
    One of God's days."

  So the devoted wife and loving mother, Mrs. Laura Ellen Bonsell 
passed peacefully away Tuesday with the faith that she would see the 
master in all His glory.  Mrs. Bonsell had been in failing health for 
over a year, but was able to be up and around the home until last 
Friday, when she was compelled to remain in bed.  Her condition was not 
considered serious although she gradually grew weaker, until she fell 
asleep at 10:45 o'clock this morning
at her, home 225 East Twelfth street.  Mrs. Bonsell was a devoted wife 
and mother.  She was also a consistent Christian woman, a member of the 
First Presbyterian church and a worker in the Young Ladies' Aid 
Society.
