| Obituary from Carrie Earl A Loved One Gone Died, At the home of her parents in Primghar, on Sunday the 28 inst, of consumption, Miss Mae Chapman, aged 22 years. Miss Chapman was an O'Brien county girl, having been born and reared here. She gave promise, a few years ago, of a long and successful annd exceedingly useful life, but contracted the dread disease consumption, and her riends have therefore felt for some weeks that she was nearing the close of her earthly life. A few months ago she went to Missouri,her frieds hopin g for a change for the better, but their hopes proved unfruitful of fulfillment, and she having expressed a desire to return home, was grought back to Primghar, and lived but a few hours. Her death was peaceful and wholly free from agitation; her mind having become, through faith in God entirely acquiescent to the inevitable; and she went out into the beyond in the full hope and expectation of eternal peace. Her life has been earnest and industrious, and she has manifested a very marked desire to become a faithful and intelligent membber of society; and to discharge fully eve3ry obligation of home, of school and of church. She was the only daughter in a family of eight, and there are seve3n brothers and a father and mother who are left to mourn her seemingly premature demise. Miss Chapman was a member of the Congregational church of this city; she was a graduate of our high school in the class of '94, and an active member of the Congregational Christian Endeavor Society. Her remains were intered from the Congregational church on Monday, March 1st. A very large concourse gathered to pay the last tribute of respect and affection; and sad indeed were the final rites; and deep was the impression, as her tranquil face, sleeping in untroubled placid serenity, without a wrinkle and witout the suggestion of a cloud, was gazed upon for the last time by a host of warm hearted friends. In bidding good bye to this friend, we could lay her away with the Saviours words struggling for utterance, "she is not dead, but sleepeth." J.C.S. | ||||||||||
