RESTS IN PEACE.
Mrs. Mary Thrift Passes Away
at Her Home.

Hearts often times are burdened with
4 sorrow greater than they can bear and
with life's beauties gone through the
taking away of one and another of the
loved ones in family circle. Death
stoops kindly and touches the brow of
weary soul and lifts 1t out of world
ly pain into calm and peaceful rest
Such an end had Mrs. Mary Thrift, one
OF the city's oldest residents. She was
lady who had grown old beautifully.
lived for those she loved, but when the
grim reaper called q husband and son
in only few months time her faith
full heart broke under the strain. 40
lite's page was turned over and she
goes to join the ones for whom she la
bored and whose removal by the grim
reaper shattered her life among earth
ly scenes.
Mrs. Mary Thrift was born October
4. 1884. in Bellefontaine, Ohio. She
was the daughter of Abednego and
Nancy Davidson, long since gone to
their reward, and who at the time of
her birth resided on South Detroit
street. In her early years she attended
the public schools and when about IS
years OF age was united in marriage to
Gilman B. Thrift. Two sons, Edward
and Frank. were born to the union.
The husband died two years ago and
twelve short days ago the son Frank
passed away. During her younger
years Mrs. Thrift Joined the Methodist
Episcopal church. She was active in
church work and prominent among the
society people of her day. She was a
beautiful and accomplished lady and
gathered about her many staunch
friends. When a young lady she had
all the luxuries and conveniences. her
father in his active years having
gathered together q goodly store of this
worlds goods He owned the David
son row on Main and Sandusky, remov-
ed when the NJ. E. church was con-
structed. Business reverses came and
property psssed into other hands. and
her husband and father being partners
in the shoe business both lost hssvily
Mrs Thrift loved her home and her
cheerful manner made it place where
husband and sons could come and find
it free from all care. Since her hus-
bands death she had not been in good
health and the death Of her SON crush
ed her with its shock. She took her
bed upon her return from laying the
body IN the confines of the grave and
gradually grew weaker until the end,
nervous prostration and bowel trouble
being the cause Of her illness. She
was the last member of her immediate
family.
Funeral services Friday afternoon at
300 o'clock conducted by Rev. Jesse
Swank and Rev. J. G. winans. Inter
