An earthquake shock would not have
surprised the people OF this city more
than the announcement made early last
Saturday that Mrs. Thomas Harvey
had died suddenly during the night al
her home ia Maple Grove. The deceased
lady had heen ailing for some time but
her trouble did not develop such an
acute stage that the presence Of the grim
reaper was suspected until her sudden
passing away broke the truth in awful
me family. Death is always sad but,
coming with such swiitness To one in the
prime OF life surrounded as she was with
happy family just at an aye where n
mothers guiding hand is most needed,
it IL doubly sad indeed.
Mrs llarycy's maiden name was Anna
Grbble, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred Gribble, Of the Great Western
location. She was the oldest OF "A family
Of four boys and three girls all of whom
aro respected citizens OF this city and
deeply mourn the loss of their sister.
In 1882 she was married 10 Thomas
Harvey and their married life has been
an exceptionally happy and prosperous
one. A family OF three children, two
girls and one boy blessed the union and
feel deeply the loss OF their kind and
loving mother. The oldest girl, Edna.
Is fifteen years old, the youngest, Lottic,
eight aud the boy, Thomas, Jr., is
twelve years OF age. IL will be seen that
the little family was just at that stage
where they could be a comfort to a
mother and repay her by their devotion
for those cxactions of early childhood,
and for that reason, Deaths rude inter
ruption is nll the more hard To bear.
The funeral was held from the Metho-
dist church last Sunday afternoon, Rev.
A. A. haywood preaching sermon full
Of comforting words 60 the sorrow
stricken family. The members OF the
lodges nf uf odd Fellows and Maccubees,
OF which Mr.. Harvey is a much respected
member, were present III large numbers.
