News was brought to Yerington
from the Reymers home about eight
o'clock last Monday night that Mrs.
B. H. Reymers had succumbed to
the complication of troubles which
had confined her to a sick room for
the past several months. The news
was very sad, although not unex-
pected. Since last July Mrs. Rey-
mers had been confined to her home,
but Just what her ailment was could
not be fully determined. She bore
her sickness with much fortitude,
and when she knew the end was
near at hand made no complaint al
though grieved to think she must
leave her loved ones upon this earth.
The funeral of deceased took place
from the home Wednesday afternoon
and was very largely attended. A
prayer was offered over the casket
by Rev. 7. H. Nicholas, and the
choir, composed of Mrs. A. ]. Littell,

placed in the hea rse and followed to
the cemetery by a large concourse OF
friends, ]. S. Craig, ]. b. Gallagher,
ID. Collins, Jas. Nichol, George w.
Knierim and Emanuel Bettencour
acting as pail bearers. The grave
was completely lined with beautiful
flowers, and after the remains were
lowered to their last resting place
| the grave was almost completely
| filled with other floral tributes. The
funeral services were then read and
the choir sang Nearer My God to
Thee" and well Never Say Good
Bye in Heaven" and all that was
earthly of good and noble woman
passed from the earthly to the
Heavenly home.
