Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1885-03-20
LINDEN.

We are fSIldDiY informed THAT
John w. Taylor will remove his
family from Britt, Iowa, to this
ploce, in the near future.
John S. Comfort attended family
reunion which was held at his
brother Isaac's, at Cobb, last Mon
day, the event being in commence
ration of their mothers birthday.
Rumor had it few weeks ago
that Linden was going to have
doctor; but up to this writing We
have not seen the follower of Escu-
lapius. We are somewhat surprised
that such a fine field should be left
without a physician SO long. And
not but there are plenty of good doc
tors who would have been here long
ere this did they know that such
scope of country was open to prac-
tice. Linden sorely needs a good
physician; and when we get a good
one, rest assured that. he will build
up practice second to none in the
county.
What Linden further needs is a
painter. We notice farmers south,
east, west and north, to say nothing
of the village work, going off to
Mineral Point and Dodgeville to get
painters to do their work. A fine
opening. Try it, somebody, and be
convinced.
We are sorry to chronicle that
Rev. NJ. Dinsdale is sadly afflicted
and confined to his room, with
rheumatism.
We are glad to state that Mrs.
George kislingbury is improving
nicely after a severe spell of sick
ness. Mr.. K. has also improved
somewhat from rheumatism since
his return from Colorado.
Mrs. Christopher Nicholas has
been quite sick for the past week
but she she is little better at this
writing.
OBITUARY.
Died, from the effects of a bron-
chial trouble, at the residence of her
father, Michael Sampson, on the 18th
inst, Miss Fannie, aged 10 years and
6 months
Fannie was a devoted daughter,
a kind and loving sister, and highly
respected by all who knew her. A
few hours before she died she called
her father, mother, brothers and sis
ters to her side and told them to
meet her in heaven, where she would
soon be with those who had preced-
ed her. Her strong faith in Christ
enabled her like Him, to triumph
over the last great enemy, and so
took her departure to that other and
better world calmly and peacefully
sinking into the everlasting arms
that were to bear her over the Jor-
dan of death to that unclouded
world where the light of the Son of
Righteousness shall shine for ever
and ever. Thus another motive bids
Us look heavenWaYd. Earth has no
sorrow that heaven cannot cure. Let
US repose the utmost confidence in
our creator, and in the sweet bye
and bye we shall rejoice more in
meeting than we have mourned in
parting, and all tears shall be wiped
from our eyes. The funeral was
held ON the Sunday following her
death. Rev. r. Burnip preached
the funeral sermon to large con-
course ofrelatiyes and friends, taking
his text from 3S chap, Isaiah, and
a portion of the LIST verse, Set thine
house in order; for thou shalt die
ami not live" There were a great
many shedding tears during the
discourse. An opportunity was given
the friends to view the deceased for
the last time, after which the re-
mains were inferred in the Linden
cemetery to await the resurrection.
- Forget her not, though now her name
BE but Il lnoumtul sound:
Though by the hearth her uterance claim
\ stiffness round.
And though her image dim the sky,
Yet, yet forget her not,
Nor where her love and life went by
F0rSake the spot.
"she has breathing influence there,
\ charm not elsewhere found:
sad yet it sanctities the air
The stream, the ground.
Then though the wind an altered tone
Through the young foliage bear,
Though this flower SO late has gone,
\ tinge willWear.
'.lb, fly it not, oh fruitless grief,
Thus i'll your presence felt,
record looks to every leaf,
There where she dwelt,
Blest that tine things she loved on earth
As relies we may hold.
That make sweet thoughts of parted worth
BY spring untold.
Blcst that Il deep and cheering power
