Death OF Mis-. Irma n. Travis.

The Salt Lake Tribune contains Q notice
Of the death Of Miss Irms b. Travis,
dsughter OF E.. J., better known 20 his
Pscifc Coast friends ss "Jot" Travis.
NJ. Travis and family lived in Eureka for
m,ny years and are we'll known through
ou the Eastern counties OF Nevada. We
take the following beautiful obituary from
shs Tribune Of the 18th inst:
The death Of Miss Travis lie hesrtbreaking to
her father. sister and brothers. q most sorrow-
fu. event to her hosts OF friends in this city.
sn spent half her early life in this town and
ws known by hundreds of people. she was
altogether Q lovely girl and the very idol Of the
Travis home. especially since her mother died
thee or four years ago.
Every accomplishment that wealth could
lsish upon her was given. Last April she
WIS attacked by la grippe. California and the
Suth were visited in the search for health,
hut the climate Of neither proved sufficiently
beneficial. Only two weeks ago she attended
. reception at the Fort, but 9 week ago was
stricken down and after that never left her bed.
At the coming Of the ds~ n yesterday morning
she passed away. and the grief Of her father
and brothers is pitiful TO see. Everythins
that affection or science could suggest vxs
done for her. She wanted to live, aud those
around her chung to her with a wild affection,
but the wheel that turns between birth and
death would not stop one revolution, and so in
tie glory of her youth. in the splendor Of her
accomplishments, just when life seemed light
ed by rainbows and filed with flowers. the
summons came. She is gone. The garden Is
turned into a desert. The light of the house
hold is gone out, and those who are left sit in
darkness, inconsolsble. Still they should keep
in mind that ss
''0ur birth is but q sleep and Q forgetting;
The soul that rises with us. our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And eometh from afar;
Not In entire forgetfulness.
And not in utter darkness,
But, trailing clouds Of glory, do we come
From God, who Is our home"
SO they should keep in mind that this lie but q
transitory state; that what seems death is but
transition and it is ss natural for Q soul to 60
back to its first home as 1t was for ii to come
away.
All sympathy will go out TO the afflicted
father and sister and brothers, and such com
fort as comes in knowing others share theiI
grief will be theirs.
