In recording the death of this young and amiable Sister of Mercy, we are reminded of the uncertainty of life. She has been cut down in the very bloom of her usefulness and taken from the companionship of her devoted friends at an age when life was dearest and sweetest. But she has not gone without hope of a blissful immortality; her spirit took flight upon the wings of faith and is now at rest! Her funeral will take place from St. Mary’s Church this morning, at 9 1/2 o’clock, when the last tribute of affection will be paid to her earthly presence. Additional Comments: I believe this obit belongs to Sister M. Almara, regardless of the name used in the obituary, and I can't explain why there was a different name used.
