On the mornlug OF August 23d, 1898,
the solemn tolling of the church bell
notified our people that Death had
claimed another victim from our midst
Mrs. T. B. Custer died at the age of 33
years and few months. Bertha was
daughter of Neely and Rachel Nc
Laughlin. She is now in the company
of father and sisters in the realms be-
yond. No conditions of life are con.
sidered by the relentless "Harvest of
Souls" This time a cherished and
happy mother is suddenly snatched
from five tender little children, flour
sons and one daughter) not yet emerged
from childhood's days of frolic. 1t is
beyond the ken of mortals to know why
these little ones at this time should be
separated from mothers care and love.
We can only bow to the DEGREES OF
Providence without attempting to
fathom His mysterious movings. A
burden of care falls upon the widowed
husband in being thus parted asunder
from the mother and wife he loved. He
has the sympathy of all, and no doubt
will receive kindly aid in performing
the duties left to him Like her par
ents, Bertha believed in daily living out
her religion, and that. she succeeded all
who know her bear testimony.
