obituary.

-Mls. JuuSOu MdnueVllle passed
away at her home in Waterloo Thurs
day morning November 18th at the
age of IS years.
The news of Mrs. Mandeville's
death was a shock to even the mem
bers Of her family, who although
advised OF her illness, were assured
that it was not of a serious nature.
Thursday evening blood poisoning
set in and though her mother and
sister were summoned at once the
angel Of death had entered before
them and claimed it's own. Minnie
Laverne Enos, was born one mile
northeast of Delaware May Is, 1869,
and grew to womanhood here. She
united with the NJ. z. church when
but fifteen years of age and was a
Jealous member Of Grace N. o..
church of Waterloo. Minnie was
never strong but she endured her
suiferings with christian fortitude.
If anything could help her better to
endure her sufferings it was the
kindness shown by her sympathiz-
ing friends The visitation Of the
Reaper must at any time bring Bit
ter regrets but doubly so when it is
the cause of breaking up a happy
home. The sad life long separation,
the final farewell is heart rending
to the survivor.
Minnie was united in marriage
with Judson Vaudeville November
30, 1898, who with son, survive
her. The deceased is also survived
by q loving father, mother and one
sister, Mrs. @. w. Rollins. Mrs.
Vaudeville possessed loving dis
position, those who were best ac-
quainted with her can best attest to
her virtues She was devoted
mother, loving and faithful wife
and sincere christian woman. Her
life cannot be judged by any human
standard.
The remains were brought to this
place Friday and taken to he1
fathers home. Members of the order

husband was a member, accompani-
ed the remains. The funeral services
