Died, at the residence Of her brother, John

wife of David Warren Of Somers, Kenosha
County, aged 10 years.
Mrs. Warren was taken South some months
ago, her friends having the hope that mild
er climate might prolong, as it undoubtedly
did, life so dear to them but the thread
which held her here was so slender that it
could not long resist the power of disease.
She died on the 21st of March, and her re-
mains were brought to Kenosha for inter-
ment.
Mrs. Warren was born at Hannibal, N. Y,
and there her girlhood days were spent. In
the year 1886 her father, Cephas Weed, re-
moved with his family to the West and set
tied near this place. His doors were always
open to the stranger seeking home in the
new country, and the poor were never turn
ed away unaided. With younger children
demanding the mother time and care, up
on the eldest daughter devolved many re.
sponsibilities, all of which were ever faith
fully met, and through all the succeeding
years her life was full of ministries of love.
Be this the word above her said
With reVerent breath,
For such as she, though seeming dead,
There is no DEATH
The Masters steps she surely found,
His path she trod,
Where duty led was holy ground,
The way to Cod
In humbleness, for others veal,
She gave her all !;
Twas hers to strengthen, love and heal
At every call.
But in the Arms reached out to her
She needed rest,
And Love, the mighty Comforter,
Shall make If hnct
