OBITUARY.

| PELLETT-Dieda at the Northern Hos
| pital for the insane, near Oshkosh, on
the 18th inst, Mrs. Jane Pellet, re-
/ lect of Luther Pellet, deceased.
Seldom, indeed does the announcement
of death bring more sorrowful refec-
tons, sad regrets or appeal more strongly
| to the sympathies of the community than
this deplorable event does. The circum
stances attending the death of the hus-
band of deceased have not yet faded
from the memory of the people who
knew him and who knew nothing but
good of him.
The effect produced upon the widow
| by his death and the manner of his taking
off, together with some other Initiative
circumstances, had a most unfortunate
effect upon the mind of deceased and she
lost her mental balance and became in
sane. She was taken to the asylum, and
after few months treatment she was
discharged as of sound mind. She came
home to her fathers home and for about
a year she built up rapidly in health, be.
coming stouter end more robust than she
had ever been in her life. Unhappily
she conceived desire to visit her old
homestead and the neighborhood of her
married life, which she did.
When che returned home to her fathers
house the effect of the visit was soon
seen, and visit calling for change of
scene was at once perfected and put in
execution, but to no purpose, as she be
came almost at once raving maniac
She was again taken to the hospital, and
although the eminent doctor in charge
had hope of finally restoring her reason,
the treatment was unsuccessful and she
died as above stated.
The deceased was the oldest daughter
of Hon. William and Sarah Eatough, old
honored, and respected residents of this
county. She was thoroughly active,
intelligent woman, good hearted neigh
Dor who conscienciously discharge all
the duties of life. She was born in Eng
land, came to this country in 1912 with
her parents, and moved with them to
Manitowoc county in 1850; was married
in 1866 and leaves behind her three or
phan children, (all girls) the oldest of
which is ten years of age, and leaves SCR
rowing for her of her own family three
brothers and two sisters, besides her
venerable parents. This blow comes with
force not to be imagined. let alone de-
scribed.
The funeral took place on Sunday at
the town of Gibson where deceased was
buried in the same lot with her beloved
husband.
There was very large attendance at
the funeral from Gibson and the adioin-
ing towns. The services were conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Tubbs. assisted by Rev.
W. McFarlane, clergymen of the NJ. E.
church of which she was member.
We wish it was more in our power to
speak words of coincidence to the bereav
ed. We can only say, if it is any com
fort, at such time to know that the de.
parted had the respect of all respectable
people that knew her, and died univer-
sally regretted, that comfort and consola.
ton IS theirs. And while the tender lit
tie girls have lost what never can be given
again, they are not homeless or friendless,
but at the fireside of their grand parents,
secure in their affectionate care they will
| find the best substitute on earth for
| mother
We are glad to be able to say that the
orphans are not left penniess, but will
get respectable sum out of their father
| and mothers estate. -
