The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1898-01-21

The sad affair cast a pail OF
gloom over the entire commun
ity, and by request a memorial
service was held at the Congre-
gational church Sunday after
noon, the large editice being
packed to overflowing by citizens
who desired to show in this way
their sympathy with the bereav-
ed friends and their esteem for
the deceased young lady, who
was SO recently ningling with
them in the duties and pleasures
Of life. Rev. Fitch and Rev
Williams each paid q short trib-
ute to the memory Of the deceas-
ed and offered words of gospel
consolation to the stricken
friends. A number of very
beautiful floral offerings were
placed upon the casket from
school and church associates of
the young lady.
The following resolutions We're
adopted by the board Of educa-
ton as expressive Of the esteem
in which Miss Blanche was held
by that body:

ed and efficient teacher, Miss Blanche VI. Nc
Callister

bright scholar and an earnest, devoted student,
whose l4bors in the school room have been OF the
highest order, while her genial manners hegot q
friendship in the hearts OF her pupils which was
ripening INTO r devoted love that time may
never eface. It is a rare trait OF character
to find brlllancy of intellect with apt ability
to impart. so happily combined u!th the grace
Of loving, sunshlny nature, as they were IN the
assistant principal of the Milhank high school.
We remember with grateful hearts the last
work she did at the literary, only one hoar be
fore the cruel, cold water closed her promising
youn life, when the buoyance Of her cheerful
spirit lent inspiration and happiness to thu
exercises of the evening that will live in hal
lowed remembrance in tie hearts of every teach
er and scholar who was present that last night OF
our unbroken and happy school circle
We extend TO her parents ana relatives our
heartfelt sympathy with the blessed assurance
that nothing bat leaves" will never be said of
so fruitful life.
The Christian Endeavor SO

was member, adopted resolu-
tions as follows:
In view of the decease of Miss Blanche NJ
AcCalister under circumstances go distressing
as by drowning in the lake, it becomes rs AS her
friends. to enter in our records these minutes
expressive of the great sorrow we feel, and the
deep sense of our loss in her death.
We wish to recognize her always ready and
cheery helpfnlness pertaining to the work OF onf
society, and especially in the service of song The
Young people of the Congregational church will
sadly miss her in social life and il all depart
ments OF church work. And we will always as
sociate her in memory with her last act-the
endeavor to save the lives Of two of her devoted
young friends
That she has passed from death unto life is to
Us the most sacred memory, lighting up the sad
parting, knowing that i'll the kingdom OF eternal
light our friendship will be renewed
We extend all human sympathy to the stricken
parents and members of the broken family circle,
but we realize how weak is the warmest human
affection unless the spirit Of God binds up the
wounded soul. To him we commend the broken
hearted. In love we will all soon meet i'll the
kingdom of light.
