and, in consequence, is often

OBITUARY
"Death Is the pate 70 life. "

Death is the gate to life.
On the 10Th. day Of last October
there came to Deming from st. LOUIS,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Baumgartner and
their infant daughter Gertrude, then
aged sixteen months. They came to
Deming with the hope that change Of
climate would be beneficial to Mrs.
Baumgartner, who had been sufferer
since Gertrude's birth. For some time
after coming here Mrs. Baumgartner
seemed to gain strength, and her pros
poets were favorable for complete re-
covery. But the unusually changeable
weather Of the last few weeks caused
her 10 lose all she had gained, and then
to fail rapidly. 1t was Mr.. Baum
gartner's purpose to return with her to
her home in Hermann, NO., as soon as
the weather would permit. But she
continued to fail in strength, and at
Sp. m. last Sunday, she babe her hus-
band, baby and friends at her bedside a
last goodbye" and looking up she
saw the pearly gate open, told them all
what she saw, and that it was open for
her, and the next moment she passed
through into the light and life beyond,
Death? There was no death-simply
transition from darkness to light, from
earth to heaven. Sadly the crushed
and broken hearted husband gathered
all that remained of the loving wife
and mother, and returned to Hermann
his former home. He left here on
Monday evening. For a number of
weeks he was one of the Graphic fam
lily, and had endeared himself to all by
his many manly qualities; and by all his
newly made friends in Deming there
was manifest the deepest sympathy
for him and his baby as they left us
for his long and lonely tourney home
ward.
