ENTERED INTO REST.
The Long Hlness and Great Suffer trsg of Mrs. Ed. Landvoigt Peace
 fully Terminated.


 record the death of the loved one who has lain at our home and suffered the most eXcruciating and racking pain for more than three months. Sorrow for our loss and the loss to those others to whom she was near and dear. Think ing of the loss to him who has been her faithful friend and companion for thirty years, who was her unselfish and devoted husband, her other self, and to whom she was more than all the world. and in whom she lived and reigned as a guiding star; thinking of her daugh- ters, Mrs. Powers. of Galveston, Texas. and Mrs. Vadakin of this city, to whom she was wholly unselfsh and indul- gent mother in all that that word means, of her grandchildren to whom she was devoted and for whom she ''builded many castles" and for her two sisters, a brother and ourselves to whom she was endeared as a mother by her kindly care and advice, and of Mrs. Knight her untiring and devoted friend. and of throng of other friends to whom she had endeared herself in the days of her strength thinking of these and their loss, we write in ink of tears. Bnt thinking of her and her great suffering, the long and tedious confinement. her beautiful life assuring us of her hahitation with God, and flat she prayed so earnestly that this cup might be taken from her, and that she might have rest, we are glad for her sake, that the inevitable has been fulfilled.
 Mrs. Landvoigt has been i'll great deal for 25 years, but during her days of strength she was foremost in charit- atle works, in looking to the comforts uf tiie sick no matter what their condi- tior in life. really having more concern for those who had not the advantages af ready money than for those other wise conditioned; an earnest christian woman. devotedly attached to the Episcopal church, in which she never tired in doing her whole duty. and where she loved to work Liberal almost to fault and so thoroughly imbued with the desire to make everyone about her happy, she will be sadly mourned, and this community bereaved of true friend and noble woman.
 She realized her condition for weeks; death had no terrors. but was look ed to as happy boon, that she might rest with Jesus. When at times she Was delirious her mind seemed actively engaged In church work, at one time the church for some extra ordinary occasion, and delighted at it's beauty.
 For the most part she was conscious until 4:30 a. m. Saturday. when she seemed in great pain and lapsed into nnconsiousness, and at 7:30 she entered Into rest.
 The first indication of her last illness | made it's appearance in January. In May she went to Texas. hoping the | change would benefit her, but she re- turned in June very weak and was soon afterwards confined to her bed, when she gradually grew worse and worse until the end.
 During the last six weeks of her ill., ness she was attended from early morn until late at night, every day, by Mrs. c. l.. Knight, scientist. who sat at her bedside. care worn but never weary watching every change-delight. ed wlen for the better, never disco,lr- aged when seemingly worse. What a wonderful influence she possesses How soothing her touch, how tender her words. In the midst of the most intense pain Mrs. Landyoigt would become perfectly peaceful under the treatment of her devoted friend. Never Tn our lives have we seen or known of such patient, loving, constant, disinter ested friendship. such tender nursing, such motherly care, as was shown her by that noble woman. Tue family are entirely at loss to express their deep gratitude for her angelic presence and assistance. Mrs. Otto Rollwage and Mrs. N. W. Norton were also specially attentive and comforting to Mrs. Land voigt, and Miss Joy Prewett tenderly administered to her every wish duriug the nights, and scores of loving friends tendered their services and supplied her
