Death OF Grandma Sellers.

On Wednesday afternoon at about
o'clock Mrs. B. Sellers died at her
home after a lingering Illness She
had suffered from Bright's disease for
many years and this with other COM
plications was the cause of her death.
Mrs. Sellers was born in London,
England, on October ID, 1887, and her
age at the time of her death was So
years, months and % days.
In 1865 she united in marriage to
Benjamin Sellers, and in 1866 came to
America, and located in the state of
Illinois. In 1880 the family located
in Wa-Keeney and have remained
here to the present time.
Mrs. Sellers was quiet home low
ing woman and was in every sense a
perfect lady, she was kind and loving
and gentle and these trait were ex-
hibited even on a bed of sickness
when she was suffering great physical
pain.
She was a member of the Episcopal
church having united with that de
nomination when little girl. She
died in Christian faith and her death
!" dC a VI OlC, Aoi IiOi IilC " as
so lived that when her last honors
came she was prepared to go. She
was the mother of six children
four of whom survive her. She
was faithful wife, loving mother
and kind friend, and though her
life was lived more or less quietly yet
a good woman has been removed from
our midst, and there will be many
who will miss her greatly. Her hus-
band and four children were constant
ly with her during her long and pain
full illness and every thing that loving
hands could do was done for her, but
without avail.
On Friday afternoon at o'clock
the funeral was held from the Metho-
dist church and the services conduct
ed by Rev. Lee of Manhattan. The
interment took place in the Wa-Kee-
ney cemetery.
The WORLD with many friends ex-
tends sympathy TO the bereaved fam
lily who mourn her loss so deeply and
hope that time will soften their grief
and help them to bear their sorrow.
