The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1892-10-22
I'm MemOriam,

On the morning of Wednesday, Oct
10. 1892. passed away the sweetest char
acter in Neihart; a character agains
which no word, of ill or story of wrong
was ever spoken. Mary Bullens Ray
mond departed this life with the bless
ing of her acquaintance, at peace will
the world and with her God.
Deepest sorrow passed from lip to liz
when the news was spread that the be.
loved wife of r. NJ. Raymond was dead
She was young and beautiful; beautiful
in the possession of a gentle grace which
adorned her word and conduct and made
her a f%avorite with everybody. Hel
death is a loss to the community. IT
will be felt long and deeply by her cir
Gle of friends, and for the bereaved hus-
band, Just starting on life's mission,
with all the hopes of domestic prosperity,
suddenly taken away it is a shock the
weight of which would cause the stOutest
heart to fail. Tears of sympathetic grief
fall from the eyes of III citizens as they
see the little home broken by the cruel
hands OF death. As they see the bonds
Of happiness between honored and en-
d%earing hearts severed by the fell de-
stroyer. 1t is a time of deepest sorrow
for us all.
The deceased was in perfect health
until last Saturday when there developed
a slight attack of pleurisy evidently due
to acold contracted a few days previous
ly. On Sunday this attack subsidized
when the patient felt comparatively well
except complaining of a slight headache
coming on toward evening which was so
aggravated that DR.. Sandow, the attend
ing physician, on calling about 8 o'clock,
decided to remain for awhile. She
vomited a little, but about midnight
without any p~rcmonitory symptoms
save the headache, she became uncon-
scious and frightful commissions set in
which lasted for u few minutes. The
doctor recognized the nature of the
symptoms to be what is technically call
ed Eclampsia at once telegraphed the
husband at Great Falls to procure at
once, the service of either DR.. Ladd, or
DR.. Gordon in consultation. The con-
vulsions lasted at intervals till about 10
a. IN. next day when a profound coma
set in from which the patient never re-
covered, despite the most strenuous eff
forts on the part of the two attending
physicians and other skillful nurses.
The subsequent autopsy by Drs. Sandow
and Gordon showed the kidneys to be in
a state of acute catarrhal inflammation,
commonly called Brights disease, which
is almost universally present in such
cases.
Mr.. George S. Bullens, the kind father
of the deceased, arrived on MONDAYS
train from his home in Newton, Mass,
whence he came to pay his children a
visit. His daughter who could not
recognize him when he came, had ex-
pressed great JOY at the news that her
father would pay her a visit, but alas, he
too late to participate in a joyful
meeting.
On Wednesday evening a special train
was run from Great Falls in sad honor
of the dead, and a few of the leading
citizens came up to camp. There were
E. G. Maclay and wife, Cyrus Maclay,
j. A. Mcknight, J. B. Turton, A. f.
Gore and Rev. bingham, who will con-
duct funeral service at the house this
morning at $50 o'clock. The body will
be taken to Newton, Mass, for burial.
