Miss Geneva p. Sprowl, one of the most
promising young people of this town, was
received with pain and regret by her many
relatives and friends. Although Miss
Sprowl had been ill several months, it had
been almost impossible for her MANY
friends to realize that such a fair and
promising young life was to be taken from
them SO soon. Words can hardly express
the esteem in which Miss Sprowl was held
by her classmates and intimate friends and
those whose acquaintance with her had been
of less duration. All knew her as a bright,
pure, intelligent young woman, of an excep-
tionally happy disposition and a pure and
spOtleSs character. Although her death has
brought temporal sorrow and grief to her
many relatives and friends, yet we may
take pleasure in the thought that her noble
life, so happily begun ON this earth, will
continue to exist, and that sin that happy
land beyond" she will be ready to greet us
with loving smile and tender welcome
when ''our time shall come" In the fall of
'99 Miss Sprowl contracted pleuo-pneu-
monia, which gradually developed into
chronic pleurisy with effusion, resulting in
empyrema. The funeral, June 1st, from the
residence of her father, Mr.. Addison
Sprowl, was largely attended by former
schoolmates and friends and was very
touching and impressive. The abundance
of floral offerings attested in a measure to
the high esteem in which she was held by
her many friends. Among many others
