DEATH RESULTS.
Hiss Lillian Sherman Succumbs to
Injuries Received In Runaway

this community for many years than
that which all classes of people of this
community felt last Saturday when the
news was heralded that Miss Lillian D..
Sherman, who had been violently
thrown from wagon by runaway
team Of horses a few days before, had
pissed away. When the accident oc-
Cured 1t was said she could not sur
vive long, but as the days passed the
public was informed that hope was
strengthening for her ultimate recov-
cry; but on Saturday morning change
for the worse came and In the evening
of that day amidst the tears and grief
Of her friends she babe adieu to earth
and passed into the beyond.
Lillian D. Sherman was born In
Uniontown, Kansas, March 14th, 1872.
Her mother died in October, 1883, leav-
ing her with the care of two small sis
tiers. Undaunted by the cares and re-
sponsibilities thus thrown upon her SO
early in life, she and her older sister
cheerfully took up the work in their
fathers family, caring for their
younger sisters tenderly and well while
they all grew up together. Her father
came with her and her sisters 10 ella
Bend in December, 1892, where they
resided until September, 1899, her Old
est sister in the meantime marrying
Rev. j. A. Crouch. While living in
ella Bend she was seriously injured in
a windstorm, from the effects of which
she was made permanently lame, but
her cheerful, happy disposition was
not in the least changed, and she
scarcely ever referred to her misfor-
tune. In September, 1899, she came to
Yuma, where she lived and worked in
helping to build up this community
until her death. Most of the time she
lived here she was in the employ of E.
F. Sanguinetti. She leaves surviving
her an aged father, U. S. Sherman,
Mrs. J.. A. Crouch and Mrs. w. E.
Marvin; also brother in Chicago and
brother in Colorado.
The funeral took place on Monday
from her family residence, the house
which she had caused to be built from
the fruits of her own diligent and
faithful efforts. The BUSINESS house
where she had been employed was
closed and flags were at half.mast out
of respect to the dead, and her remains
were followed to the cemetery by the
largest number Of friends who ever in
Yuma gently bore a loved one to her
last resting place, an evidence of the
respect and love she shared in this
community.
1t is sad to realize that she has gone
hence. 1t is hard to know that her
cheerful voice will be heard no more |
and that her inspiring presence will |
be seen no more on earth. But Miss |
Sherman died as we all should wish to |
die-surrounded by friends, loved and |
respected by all. She lived good |
life and did much good in the world,
Notwithstanding the hand of fate seemed |
to be turned against her, and death |
claimed her when she was hardly half |
along the way. May God bless her
throughout all the eternities and may
the sweet influence of her life always
remain with us to cheer and aid us in
being faithful to our trusts in life.
And may we all have faith to believe
that death, to her, is but the opening
of the door into everlasting joys, life
where no more pain nor difficulties
can ever arise, but be as an eternal and
blissful morn.
