DEATH AND BURIAL OF MRS. FRED
ECKHARDT.
TIE occasional announcement of n
sudden death in community, which
falls with solemn effect upon those
who have known and been familiar with
the sound OF the voice that has been
silenced forever, and the face that has
disappeared from the accustomed places
seen in life. was again the cause of much
surprise when it ives announced, List
Wednesday noon, that Mrs. Fred Eek
hardt was dead. Her illness had been
known as serious for only short time,
although she had long been known as
one who bore the burden OF disease.
Mr.. Eskhardt, who had been by his
wife's bedside, in company With mis-
daughter, Mrs W. d Dyson, during
the critical hours that preceded change
for the better in har condition. had been
9laddeneC by the change, which seemed
a permanent one, and as he had often
done before, answered q summons that
required his attention away. The sad
intelligence of Mrs. Eek ha.dt's death
reached the beresved husband in Mil
waukee. and he arrived home the follow.
ing day. Many expressions Of sympathy
for the family were spoken by all when
learning of the scdien relapse which
soon closed her eyes in death.
Mrs Fred Eckhardt, nee Ellen Spears,
was born in the town of Franklin, and
was 81 years of age. Her early life had
been spent within the romantic sur
roundings of Monument Rock, and it
wss one as peaceful as the summer
landscapes appear around its age
scanned walls; and it was here that she
was united in marriage to Mr.. Eckbardt
in 1861. Her father, Lucius Spears, is
now resident Of De Soto, her mother
dying some time ago. A daughter,
Mrs. VIM. d Dyson, cemented the ties
Of their union. Mrs Eckhardt was
very domestic woman, charitable to
those in need, a neighbor loved and re-
spected by all; wife and mother whose
Hff-ction was one OF her strongest char
aeteristics She was cut down when
her cup of happiness and comfort should
nave been the fullest, in new home
second to none for life's comforts.
The last cad rites were neld at the
elegant family homa, Saturday morning,
where neighbors and sympathetic friends
joined the bereaved in their sorrow. Rev.
q W.Nuzum read an appropriate lesson
from the scriptures ar offered fervent
prayer, followed by a touching tribute
to the departed aud words Of consola
ton to the bereaved by Rev. Hsug hton.
Tue remains we're borne to the cemetery
and in the presence of husband, father,
sister and sympathetic friends, depos-
tied 10 the family lot The floral
decorations were testimonial to the
character OF the dece ,sed. They we're
most beautiful and numerous.
The family desire the CENSOR to ex
press their gratitude to the friends and
neighbors for assistarc e and words
