IN THE EARLY MORN
aThe Spirit of Mrs. Adolph Hlrsch Was Borne to That Bourne From Whence
 No Traveller Returns.

Surrounded by loved ones who had carefully watched round her bedside for many days and nights without murmur and who had struggled hard against the grim destroyer to keep back his icy hand, the spirit of Mrs. Julia Hirsch the be- loved wife of MT. Adolph Hirseh, worn and torn with days and nights of suffer- ing, gave up and in the still hours of early morn, was borne aloft to that home where pain and sorrow is Gnknown and where the weary find eternal rest The fight was a hard one and all that human skill and loving hearts and hands could do was done to relieve her sufferings and bring back to health and strength the beloved wife and daughter, the kind and noble mother, true and tried friend, but God, who doeth all things well, willed that her sweet spirit should return to its maker and His Divine will is law.
 When the shreks of the bereaved hus-l band, father and mother and fond friends went up on earth the angels of heaven shouted loud "Halle1ujah" fer joy at the coming of pure daughter of Israel.
 Three weeks ago Ms. Hirsch gave birth to a little babe and with a mothers life blood the babe lived, but will not know the mother who bore her. Mrs. Hrseh was stricken and never recovered. NtNef TOT an nOuF was ner bedside va cated and kind and loving hands were ever ready to relieve her sufferlngs. But to no avail and with breaking hearts her loved ones gave her up.
 Mrs. Hirsch was the beloved daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. Loeb, Sr., of Montgom- cry, and was woman of rare aecomplis h. ments, a sweet and lovable disposition, a true wife and fond and devoted mother.
 Two children are the fruit of her brief married life and they will never know such another mother as she who passed from mortality immortality at o'clock yesterday morning.
 A brief service will be held at the fam fly residence, 722 North Seventeenth street, tomorrow morning at 3:45 o'clock, after which the remains will be taken to Montgomery for interment.
 Mir Hirsch and MT. and Mrs. Loeb and their families have the heartfelt sympa- thy of a large circle of friends in their bereavement.
