The Late Mrs. W. c. Bullock

The LEADER, yesterday, announced
the sad news of the death of Mrs.
Bullock, wife of our, esteemed fellow
citizen, Col. W. G. Bullock. After a
long, most painful Illness, which she
knew meant death, Mrs. B. finally passed
away, fully conscious to the last and NJ
peace with her Maker. Her husband
was her constant companion during
the last four weeks Of her life, but ever
his loving care WIS powerless to ward
off the destroyer. Her great suffering
she bore resignedly, patiently, until the
white-winged messenger came and car
ried the immortal soul away to the
realm everlasting. 4
Mrs. Bullock was known here In
Cheyenne as a consistent christian lady,
ever ready and willing to do good
among her fellow-men. Her friends
were deyotedly attached to her, and
many retain and will cherish the menu
DRY of kind acts and services of the
deceased. To the sick and suffering
she vas like an administering angel,
who would carry sunshine and love into
the household Of the afflicted. Her mis-
sion in life was to comfort the suffer-
ing, to sympathize with the unfortun-
ate, and to do good to all with whom
she came in contact. May her memory
be haIlowed, and her example become a
shining mark in this community.
