SUFFERING ENDS IN DEATH

  Mrs. Samuel Walborn, died early Sunday morning.  The lady had been ailing 
practically one year with a complication of diseases and for several months 
was an invalid.  She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Davilla 
Peiffer, of near this place, both of whom preceded her in death less than 
six months ago.  Mrs. Walborn was an estimable lady and aged 45 years.  
Surviving is her husband, one daughter Miss Edna and one son Lloyd, both at 
home, besides two brothers residing on the Peiffer homestead, near 
Spannuth's store.  The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon.  Services 
were conducted in the Reformed church, of which she was a member, by Rev. J. 
Lewis Fluck, assisted by Rev. Youse, of the Lutheran church.  Interment was 
made on New cemetery.
  The pallbearers were Ed. Spangler, S. E. Kreitzer, A. G. Price, Geo. 
Bricker, W. H. Price and Frank Yingst.
  During her many days of illness, Mrs. Walborn was a patient sufferer but 
with all the agony she calmly awaited the time when her misery would end in 
peaceful rest.  She was a devoted christian woman and by request the choirs 
of the Reformed and Lutheran churches visited the home at various times and 
cheered her on by singing sacred hymns and anthems, together with fervent 
prayers by the pastors of the respective congregations.
