Death of Mrs. Helen Theresa Reuter-


afternoon and SO general
is the feeling of sorrow at her de-
parture, that the church would |
not hold all who came.
DR.. II. j. Steward preached the
sermon and he spoke in the high
est terms of her many admirable
traits and ovable qualities. "She
has done what she could' he said,
"and since she was gifted by nature
and cultured by education her in
fluence for good was remarkable.
She will live in her many helpful
deeds, and many home has been
more bright because of her
loving service"
Mrs. Helen Theresa Reuter-,
daughter of Joseph and Mary
Wolfe, was born near Haydenville,
March 3Oth, 1851. and died April
Goth, 1903, she being therefore
So years old at the time of enter
ing into rest.
She was the fourth child of a
family of eight children, only one
of whom, (her sister Esther) has
preceded her to her Heavenly
Home.
Mrs. Reuter- leaves loving and
devoted husband, five children,
three grand children, four sisters,
two brothers, and a large number
of relatives and friends, and all Of

have no hope, for Mrs. Reuter- is
not dead, but living, for, many
years ago she began the life of a
Christian, and she accepted the
life of Christ, who said "Because

In fact. she took an interest i
