THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.
Two Of the Best and Fairest of this City
Go to that 's'Better Country.
Rarely have the people of this
city been SO profoundly affected by
the visitation of death as they were
last Friday: when in quick success
sion Miss Angie Pickett, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. Pickett, died
while the day was yet new, the
tidings being followed few hours
later by the announcement of the
death Of Mrs. Ida May Pease, wife
of DR.. G. R. Pease. The latter had
been rapidly sinking for nearly
year past, from that dread malady,
consumption, and the event was not
wholly unexpected, but in the case
OF Miss Pickett, up to a few hours
before her death she was supposed
to be rapidly recovering from the
effect of seemingly mild attack of
diphtheria. Her death is attributed
to paralysis of the heart following
the disease, and being unexpected,
caused a profound shock to the
community, and the deepest grief
to the members of her family.
IDA MAY PEASE.
Ida May Carrothers was born in
Beaver Falls in 1867, her father and
mother being pioneers in that locality.
During the Indian outbreak. Mrs. Dav-
i'd Carrothers was carried into captivity
along with Mrs. White and one or two
other white women, but although they
endured some hsrdships. they were
afterwards released and returned to
their homes. Mrs. Carrothers died in
1878, and at that time Miss Ida Car
rothers to all intents became an adopt
ed daughter of Jas. Mcmillan, remain
ing member of the family until the
time of her marriage. Mrs Pease early
developed musical talent, which was
cultivated by such teaching as could
be secured here, supplemented by a
musical course at Minneapolis. She
was the possessor of sweet contralto
voice, and while in health she was
frequently called upon to exercise her
gifts, both instrumental and vocal.
In 1893 Miss Ida was united in mar.
riage to DR.. G. r. Pease, and few
years later another earthly tie was
vouchsafed to her and her husband-a
baby girl, now nlotherless only in
name, for already she has found q
mothers love and care in the home Of
her aunt
For nearly two years past Mrs. Pease
has heen in Colorado and New Mexico
with her husband who went there with
her in the hope of prolonging her life.
Early this winter it became evident
that no condition of climate could re-.
store her to health, and she bravely
came home to die, surrounded by the
friends of her girlhood, breathing her
last about noon on Friday.
The funeral on Sunday afternoon
was from the house of e. f. Thomp-
son. and many friends testified their
esteem for her by their sympathy with
the family and by lavish floral tributes,
those from the Eastern Star, Rathbone
Sisters, st. Veronica's Guild-of which
organizations theldeceased was mem
Der, being specially elaborate and beau
tiful. Rev. VIM. Mitchell Of the Epis.
copal communion with which Mrs /
Pease had long been identified, testified
in most affecting terms to the beautiful
character Of the deceased.
ANGIE T. PICKETT,
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. r. s.
Pickett, was less than 1S years Of age
when Death called her-her exact age
being II years, 8 months and IL days.
Her pastor and co-workers all testify to
the beauty Of her Christian character
and to her faithful service as organist
at the Christian church and in other
work given her to do. Saturday after
noon the remains were gently borne to |
their rest in the grave that had been
50 tastefuliy decorated by friends as to |
almost make one forget the sadness ofi
the occasion. She was literally laid to |
rest in bed of roses
The funeral sermon was preached by /
her pastor, Rev. q. A. Orr, Sunday
morning in the Christian church, from
The text, Wherefore comfort one an
other with these words SIR Orr
