Ob11Uhh1s
On Thanksgiving night, November
%, 1895, at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Hugh Elliott, occurred the death
of Mrs Mary E. CasS, after long and
painful illness.
Mrs. Cass was born May 81, 1922, at
Pittsfield, Mass, and lived at that
place until after she married Daniel
CaSs of the same place on April 4,
1916, and in their westward moves
they came to Kansas and settled on
the Saline in 1881, where She has
since lived.
She leaves three daughters and one
son to mourn her loss Mrs, III, It'd
ball and Mrs. II. Elliott, of this coun-
ty, Mrs. Z. f. Cole, OF Hastings, Neh.,
and Emery Cas-, who resides on the
home place, where his mothers home
was, though she passed away at the
daughters home while there on a
visit.
Mrs. Cas- will be greatly missed by
her children, as she was kind, loving
mother, who by her Christian acts
will be remembered by all who knew
her, for she has been a devout Chris
81 tian the most of her life, and never
" failed to say word for God when the
opportunity was given her, and all
through her helplessness she never
v murmured and always said she was
waiting for Gods time to take her to
rest
The funeral services were held in
the Congregational church at Collyer,
November Both, of which she was
member, being conducted by Rev.
Waldrof, from the text: blessed are
They Who Die in the Lord" after
which the remains were laid beside
those of her husband who died March
%, 1889. -
Just as Thanksgiving, 1895, was
to be laid away with the many gone
before, the lights that had so long
n fiickered in the socket died out, and
the poor pain racked body of our dear
friend and neighbor Mrs. Cass) was at
rest.
Who that has witnessed the forth
tude and patient endurance, the ever
ready smile and cheerful reply which
greeted all, can but feel how power
full the faith which can say, II can
bear it until Gods time comes"
In the early eighties, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cass came to join their children al
ready here; both were of feeble health
when they came to cast their lot with
is.
Five years ago the angel of death
allied and Mr.. Cass answered the
luminous. Few expected to find Mrs.
J. alive when they returned from the
uneral of Mr.. Cass, for she was very
lex and unconscious of all surround
ngs at the time of his death.
Even her children so tenderly de-
oted to her can but feel that it is
Vell her sufferings are at an end, of
enderly loving care they gave all in
heir power, and her only son was as
aithful and self denying as gentle
Foman.
While the panorama Of life is NOV
lg amid the sorrow and turmoil of
ally strife we cannot then separate
ne gold from the dross. So much of
hat we live is reflected on those
round us, but when noble Christian
ives have become "a tale that has
zen told" and the view in it's COM
setedess is spread before US, we mar
81 that so much that was grand and
sautiful could pass unnoticed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cass were member of
lie Congregational church as are all
leir children. The Congregational
lurch at Collyer owes much of its
osperity to them.
Side by side they are laid at rest,
aniel and Mary CasS, and we to-
ther mourn the departure of devout
sristians, devoted parents and faith
lends.
The heartfelt sympathy of this
immunity is extended to the mem
rs of the bereaved family who will
d their greatest comfort in know
that their loss is her gain.
Iasp thine armor on,
ht we'll and thou shalt see after their
wars.
head-wear sunbeams and thy feet touch
stars.
