PEACEFUL Be HER SLUMBfRS.

session we held dear. AT 1890
o'clock on the night of Janu-
airy 23d Hattie A. Fairbanks,
wife of f. w. Fairbanks, was
summoned to appear before
her Maker and hear from Him
the words of commentator
. regarding the stewardship en-
trusted to her on this earth,
"well done, good and faithful
servant, enter thou into the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Our beloved wife had been
suffering from nervousness
caused by a severe shock
number of years ago which
resulted in a throat affection
termed by the numerous ply
sicians who had been consult
ed, spasms of the epiglottis.
For more than two years past
she had doctored constantly
for this BILE, but it seemed
that relief was not to be OBJ
tanned.
Mrs. Fairbanks was the eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. A. Guild, of Dayton, in
which town she was born on
the 9TH day of November, 1860.
She leaves to mourn her loss
at her old home father and
mother, three brothers and a
sister; a married sister in Po-
catello, Idaho, and a brother in
Idaho, besides a griet-stricken
husband in Yerington, to
whom she was married on the
sd day of February, 1897, in
Carson, the Rev. Geo. K. Davis,
since deceased, officiating.
In life she was member of
Carrie A. Kinsley Lodge No. 3,
Degree of Honor, A. 0. U. W.,
of Virginia City, in which she
kept up beneficiary certif-
cate in favor of the writer.
Our wife was more to us, it
seemed, than most wives are
to their husbands. For nine
long years she toiled with the
writer at the case; she was
our companion, Gomrade and
chum; women full OF perse-
verance and energy, and to
whom we owe the greater part
OF our success in lite-it it can
be said that there is such
thing as success. When we
review our married life aud
note that just as we were pre-
pared to live less strenuous
lite, she should be taken from
us, the affliction seems unjust,
but we bow to the will of Him
who the good book says "doeth
all things WELL"
The remains of deceased
were shipped to Dayton on the
24th of last month, where the
funeral took place from the
home of her childhood on the
25th. Members of Court
Walker River, A. 0. F.,
acted as pail bearers and
escorted the remains to Wa
buska, other friends also
following the remains to the
train. The pail bearers were

oner, George Ambrose, DR..

Powers. Upon the arrival of
the train in Dayton the re-
mains were escorted to the
home by members of Lyon
Lodge No. IL, X. of p. The fu-
neral was conducted by flu
neral director Kuhn, of Vir-
ginia City, and Rev. Mr.. Ram
sey, of Carson, preached the
funeral sermon. There Were
MANY beautiful floral tributes,
and choir, composed OF Day.
ton ladies and gentlemen, sang
a number of touching and ap-
propriate hymns. Then, after
friends had viewed tor the last
time the face of the dear de-
parted. the remains were
borne to the hearse by the K.
OF p. pail bearers, Il. f. How
ard, w. ]. Thompson, G. p.
Randall, NJ. A. Douglass, John
Damon and J. H. Donaldson,
and the entire Lodge marched
to the grave, while many
friends followed in carriages.
There the last sad rites were
performed, and all that was
mortal of good woman, low
ing wife, devoted daughter
and sister was laid to rest.
Peace be unto her ashes.
