Lucy A. Tibbetts.

A good and beautiful life ended on
the evening of April 20, 1897, when
Mrs. Lucy A. Tibbetts passed from
temporal scenes to Heavenly rest, at
the hospital in Mankato, where she
went about two weeks ago for medi-.
cal treatment. ss..x.t H.; .....-: So.
Mrs. Tlbbett, was daughter of
the late George R., and Marietta
Shipton; the first one of family of
thirteen childen to pass from the
earthly circle to join the father in the
Heavenly circle above. i .-..~ j,
Lucy A. Shipton was born in Fill
more county, Mimi, April 20. 1864.
She received such an education as
the common schools of her girlhood
afforded; being very fond of music,
she gave especial attention to this &C
complishment, which gave added
grace and charm to her life.
She became a Christian and pub
Ideally confessed her faith in, and 10y
atty to her Savior by uniting with
the .; B. church at Wyckof at the
early age of sixteen years. @.:%
Miss Shipton was married to Mr..
Henry B. Tibbetts, Of La Crosse,
Wis, on Nov. 10, 1882. Two child
rem blessed this union, a girl and a
boy, both dying in infancy,
She removed to Worthington,
Mimi, with her husband in 1891,
where she has since resided, and very
soon united with the NJ. b. church
there by letter. H.. ~
Mrs. Tibbetts seemed to have early
learned the real secret of a. happy
and useful life in that she was so un-
selfish and self-denying, and lived
for the good she could do to- those
around her. She was a cheerful,
loving daughter, and always brought
JOY and sunshine into the home of
the widowed mother, who looked for
ward to her annual home coming
with so much pleasure, and who is so
deeply bereaved in the death of the
first child.
She was singularily loving and
loyal in every relation of life. as a
sister, as wife, to her friends, in her
home, in her church and, above all.
to her Savior and His gospel; and
has left behind the legacy of a true,
earnest consecrated life.
Her husband, the unusually large
circle of brothers and sisters. and
host OF friends, and her church can
only feel and say:
lit is little matter at what hour of day
The righteous tall asleep.
Death cannot come to one untlmely,
Who has learned to die.
The less OF the brief life, the more of Heaven
The shorter time, the longer immortality.
| Life's race well run,
| Lies work we'll done,
Life'S crown we'll worn,
| Now cometh rest.''
Funeral took place Saturday after
noon at 2 o'clock from the M. E.

rated with palms. ferns and potted
plants. Rev. U: A. Cook ofhciated,
