nesday morning, March Is, 1903, after
brief illness, Mrs. Lulu Stockwell John
son, aged 18 years, nine months. She
was born in Green county, Wis.,, June
%, 1884, and came to Mower county,
Mimi, in 1896. She lived with her par
ents on farm south of Austin until
two years ago when her father pur-
chased the Powers hotel in Lyle where
she has lived until her death. She was
married July 4. 1902, to s. A. johnson
of Lyle. Bright prospects and high |
hopes centering in a lovely character,
q WOmanly woman, a true friend, an |
affectionate wife, are laid away with
her mortal body, but we see in contrast
the more beautiful life beyond this
vale of tears. Yes, she is gone, and it
is like a dream to those left to mourn
what seems an untimely DEATH Rev.
G. D. Belden of Austin conducted the
funeral obsequies at Enterprise Friday
afternoon, and spoke from Samuel
1903, "There is But Step Between Me
and Death" and his hearers were fOrci-
bly, reminded that we are all close to
the same dark river. Her sickness was
of only short duration although she
had known for some time that she was
not going to stay long here, and had so
told those nearest and dearest to" her.
She made her wishes known as to the
arrangements of the last sad rites and
during the days and mig hts of suffering
she never murmured nor complained.
She bore the pain with great fortitude
and when the end came at o'clock
Wednesday morning she passed to the
great beyond in silent peace. AS she
was in life so she was in death. The
large attendance to the last resting
place plainly showed the high esteem
in which she was held by those with
whom she had been acquainted. She
leaves behind to mourn her absence
loving husband, an infant daughter,
also father and MOTHER three sisters
and five brothers besides numerous
other relatives and hosts of loving
friends.
Peaceful in the grave so low
Thou no more wilt join our numbers,
Thou no more our sorrows know;
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When this spark of life has fed,
And again in Heaven to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.''
