Death Of Mrs. Ed. E. Horn.

Mrs. Elizabeth Horn, beloved Sife of
Edward +. Horn OF Contention, died on
Saturday evening, Feb. %, 1896, at abont
So'clock, after short illness. She was
well and in excellent spirits on Thurs
day previous, and seemed lively and gay
as usual on that day when Miss frankie
Parsons visited her at her home. We
learn that she was troubled with Bright's
disease, which with other complications
brought on her illness suddenly, and
that there was almost no hope when DR..
Howard got there. DIR. Houck of Mitch
ell was also summoned to consult in the
case, and in spite Of all that medical aid
could do, she lived hut two days after
taking sick.
The body, followed by numerous rela-
tiyes and sorrowing friends, was borne
to Fossil, distance OF 20 miles, arriving
Sunday evening late. 1t was placed in
the Methodist church under tie con-
stant vigil Of members Of the Masonic
lodge Of Fossil, Of which order the be-
reaved husband is an honored member,
till II a. m. on Monday. At this hour a
a larger crowd Of people than the NJ. E.
church would hold gathered to pay their
last sad rites to the memory OF the de-
ceased, who was loved and respected
most by those who knew her best. The
ceremonies in the church we're conduct
ed by Rev. Zellers, and his address was
very beautiful and affecting one. TAX
ing az text the words OF Paul, "To die
10 gain" he depicted beautifully the
Christians hope that takes away the
sting OF death, and persuaded the bereft
husband and three brothers Of the de-
ceased present that the dear wife and
sister was not in spirit dead hut only
gone before TO that spirit world where
all is joy and peace.
"And from heaven Of heavens above
God speaketh with bateless breath:
My angel OF perfect love
ls the angel men call death"
After the ceremony the body was fol-
lowed 10 the grave in the Masonic ceme
tery by az large funeral procession as
eyer assembled in this vicinity. After
the Masonic pail bearers, next came the
Odd Fellows in body, that order also
testifying their esteem and sympathy
for the bereaved husband and their
brother Odd Fellow.
Lizzie Horn, the deceased, first saw
the light OF day in the beautiful valley
OF Looking Glass, Douglas county, on
April 20, 1865. She was married to Ed.
Horn, on November 10, 1892, at her old
home in Douglas county. Besides her
very devoted husband, she leaves her
aged father, three sisters and seven
brothers to mourn her untimely loss.
Her sisters are Sarah j.. Spaugh, Mary
Churchill and Julia Spaur, OF Douglas
county, and her brothers are, James,
David and Ulysses Morgan Of Doh slas
county; Ed, Thos. and viii Morgan of
Gillian county, and Harve Morgan of
San Francisco.
A very tender chord of sympathy has
been touched in this community by the
death Of Lizzie Horn, who was very
affectonate and dutiful wife, and whose
amiableness bad won her many endear-
ing friends wherever she lived, who will
ever cherish fond memory of her. To
all these relatives and friends now in
their severe hours of affection, we ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy, and adj
monish them that while the body OF
their departed one is dead, the spirit
lives;
'For there is no death: the stars go down
To shine on faiTcr shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more"
