pied the first place in her profession
for years in Sacramento sustaining
reputation in her profession that was
envied of many and disputed by none
She was one of the most generous
hearted and noble minded Of women,
and many eyes are wet to-day remem-
bering her kind deeds, done not for
adulation and praise, but for the relief
of suffering and misery. Her recent
long illness has been endured with most
ChriStianlike patience and heroic foru-
tude. For the last month she has
known that the end was approaching,
and has beheld the last enemy Of man
kind approach nearer and nearer with
undaunted spirit and unshaken faith in
the world which she was so soon to be-
held, not through glass darkly,' but
face TO face" with all she had long
believed and trusted in with answering
faith. Her place in our midst can
never be filled by another, and her
place in our hearts viii remain green
SO long as remembrance is undimmed
by the failing powers of reason. She
will be buried to-day beside her parents
and baby daughter in New HelVetia
| Cemetery.
The death of Mrs Sterling Nourse is
particularly sad on account of the cir
| cunstances under which it occurred.
A native of Chicago, H., Miss Maude
| Gertrude Knight came a short time
since to California with her father s
| family, who intended to take UP life
| anew in the land of gold" A young
1aHxv nf Wv h1ri oh Iowa blp dis
position, she had a host of friends in
the prairie city. parting with whom was
! rendered particularly hard on account
of the great distance that was so soon
| to separate them. She wished it were
| possible for them to leave her behind,
the separation with old ties and assO-
| Citations came so hard. But in Califor-
MIA she met, loved and was beloved by
Sterling N0urse, and an engage
ment resulted, which when the family
| decided to return to then. ND home
resulted in one of the ~D1t ideal and
| happy of marriages. Mr.. Nourse was in
| the employ of the Southern Pacific
Company at Bakersfield, and here they
| stablished a perfect nest of a home,
| complete in every detail, and started
! life together with the full appreciation
of parents and friends, perfectly mated
| and almost too happy in their entire
content. Young Mrs. Nourse was pos
| sessed of an uncommonly cultivated
mind, was gifted in music and was one
of those sunshiny souls that every one
| loves at once, and without question.
| While yet the honeymoon was far from
waning cloud overshadowed the skies
! hitherto so bright, and the little mis-
tress of one of the happiest of homes
| fell i'll. Doctors We're summoned until
| seven different physicians had pro-
nounced her malady structure of the
| bowels and given a hopeless verdict to
| the distracted husband and friends. In
the interim her invalid mother died
and she could not be told She bore
up bravely through untold sufferings
until at Last death relieved her and left
her little home desolate. She was bur
led in this city, followed to the grave
by many of those who had attended the
wedding reception so short a time be-
fore, and upon her last earthly resting
place were heaped floral trib-
utes of exceeding beauty that
testified to the great love she
had inspired in the hearts of so

| their days of mourning will never end.
Mr.. Nourse has been transferred from
Bakersfield to Sacramento in his posi-
ton with the railroad company, and his
sister has accompanied him to the
scene of his short but happy married
| life to assist him in the sad mission of
| breaking up the little home and dis
posing of its treasures, with which are
connected SO many happy moments.
