Died, Monday morning Dec. II, 1898
of consumption at her horse on Will
age creek, Mrs. Retta Allison, wife
of James Allison. Mrs. Allison has
been long and patient sufferer from
that relentless disease, consumption.
She has born her sufferings with rem
patience and even cheerful
ness. Retta was a noble christian
No better, truer woman
ever lived. Kind and loving to all,
she spent her short life in a devoted
effort to be of some service and make
others happy. Retta never thou yht
an evil deed, let alone doing one.
Devoted to her husband and family
she spent the few short years of her
married life in one continued effort to
make others happy. She leaves hus-
band and three small children besides
many relatives and friends. Retta
was the daughter of Mr.. Lee, who
works for John Carter, and for several
years before her marriage, lived in
Char ute. No one ever knew Retta
Lee but to love her, her kind and low
ing heart was full of affection and
kindness for everybody. In her loss
there is a void left III the community
that will never be filled. There will
never be another Retta to take her
place in the hearts of those young

Did father and other relatives and
friends. Retta is gone from among us
but her memory will ever live in our
hearts as the dearest, sweetest and
Durest of women. Too pure and good
for the evils of this world she has
been called to a nob1er and CHER life
where she awaits the coming of her
lear ones, only left behind for short
