KATE ELLIOTT,

81 Il
DIED; at Nermillion, Dak,. Feb. 4 1890. Miss
hate Elliott. aged ~ years, mos, and q days.
When tie news Wis received in Hur-
ley last Thursday that Kate was dead
a sadness o'erspread the whole COM
munity. Only u few short weeks before,
she was visiting with her parents and
mingling with friends in the best Of
spirits and health, and it hardly seems
possible that she could have been called
so soon. Judge Elliott and family have
the heartfelt sympathies of all in the
hour of their bereavement. That she
was held in great esteem by all with
whom she was associated is evident
from the following clipped from the
university department Of the Ycrmil-
lion Republican of the 9TH inst:
For the second time has the Messen-
ger of Death been sent to pluck from
our midst a loving friend, u dear class
mate, and Il highly esteemed associate.
For the second time has the Master
seen fit to blight and wither the bloom
ing bud of buoyant hopes and bright
prospects of a devoted sister, Il loving
child. And in our great despair and
grief we are lead to exclaim, Oh God!
Election we bow our heads in utter sub
mission, and murmur "Thy will be
DONE"
Miss Kate Elliott was taken sick with
the mumps, some two weeks ago, and
after recovering sufficiently to be up,
she venturcd over to u recitation, inn
| PEELED by her great natural love of
learning and being very reluctant about
missing any more classes than absolute
ly necessary, which venture proved to
be the cause OF her death. Upon return
| ing to her room, and feeling unwell,
she again took her bed, this time for
ever; she had taken a relapse. She con-
tinued in this state until yesterday
morning. when she rapidly grew worse.
tier parents were Immediately sum-
moned, her brother arrived at o'clock
this morning and her parents at 1880.
All day yesterday she fingered between
life and death. This morning, being
overcome by her unequal struggle for
life. she sank back on her pillows and
expired without a struggle, calm and
peaceful expression lighting her way to
another world.
4 Good bye, Kate, we shall miss you.

mind us of you.
