Obituary.
Mrs. Jessie E. Davis was born in
Three Rivers, Wis on the 22nd day of
January, 1874.
At the age ofN15 years she united
with the Presbyterian church at Eu-
cid, Mimi, and remained consistent
| member to the close of her life, when
her Heavenly Father called her to
Himself, in the 32nd year of her age.
She was successful school teacher for
a number of years.
She was married to Mr.. f. D. Col
Inns August Is, 1903. and with him
came to Kennewick, and at ono e
united with our church here, where
her sweet vivaciousness won her hosts
of friends. Last fall Mr.. Collins took
up homestead in Oregon, near Echo,
and during the winter they took up
their residence there. They returned
here on summer visit, and after
few weeks returned short time ago 10
| their home.
Last Wednesday, November l, while
she was engaged with her usual do
nestle duties, she was suddenly smit-
ten with heart failure, falling out of
the door to the ground, where her
husband found her lifeless body on his
return home, with their little fourteen
months old daughter by the dead
mothers side.
After tenderly placing the ifeless re-
mains within the house, Mr.. Collins,
with his little daughter in his arms,
ran to his neighbors', mile and half
away, and fell in a dead faint across
the threshold. The neighbors, Mr..
Thompson and wife, were greatly sur
prised and at once applied the proper
measures, until Mr.. Collins was able
to tell of his great loss. Mr.. Thomp-
son secured doctor, and later coro-
nor, who upon due examination pro-
nounced Mrs. Collins death instanta-
neous and heart failure the cause. The
remains were taken to Pendleton. Ore,
where an undertaken prepared the
body for transportation to Kennewick,
Wash.
Mr.. Collins and little daughter were
accompanied by his father and mother
who had been called on hearing the
sad news of their daughter-in-law's
sudden death. Last Friday evening at
8 o'clock large gathering of friends
met them ut the depot and escorted
| Ii.
Collins, in Section Z, mile and half
from town, where the body of the dead
wife and mother was held awaiting
the arrival of Her relatives from Crooks
ton, Mimi.
Funeral services were conducted by
the writer, her pastor, at the house of
Mr. Collins. in the presence of large
gathering of friends and acquaint-
ances. Quite a number of them were
from Crookston, Mimi, and knew
Mrs. Collins there and had been pres.
ent at her marriage to nv. Collins.
The choir sang several appropriate
selections of hymns, and the sermon
was preached from the following texts
of scri pture: Ezekiel, xiv, 1918, "Son
of man, behold, take away from thee
the desire of thine eyes with a stroke;
so l spake unto the people in the morn
ing; and at evening my wife died"
