to aid recovery but the disease had
/ progressed too far for abatement.
She was brought back to her home
where loving hands could minister
for her comfort so long as life might
last. AT her bedside when the
peaceful end came were her faithful
husband and daughters. They tru-
ly followed her in love and sympa-
thy to the very entrance to the
valley of shadows"
Jane Johnston Henderson was a
native of Woodlands, Ontario, and
had she lived three more days would
have been fifty-six years of age.
She grew to womanhood at her
home by the St. Lawrence RIVER,
with the companionship of her ten
brothers and sisters, eight of whom
are yet living to mourn her loss.
The oldest sister, Mrs. Wallace,
resides at Argyle, Mimi; Mrs. Arm
strong at Mile Roches, Ont; Mrs.
Hoople at Ottawa, Ontario; Miss
Agnes Johnston at Niagara Falls; a
brother, Jonas Johnston, resides at
the same place; William at Hudson;
Herman at Glenwood, and James at
Jefferson, Oregon.
Thirty years ago the twenty-fifth
of May, Jane Johnston was married
to James R. Henderson, at the place
of her birth and with her husband,
has, at different times, resided, first
at Carlton Place, Ontario, then, on
coming west in 1884, at New Rich
mond, Boardman, Glenwood, and
the last six years in this city. Four
children, three daughters and one
son, crowned with joy Mrs. Hend-
erson's married life. One daughter
was spared TO them only two years
and the baby boy but few days.
| The daughters remaining to mourn
| for a beloved mother are Caroline
E., teacher of Domestic Science at
Spokane, Washington, and Eva M,
teacher in the public schools at
Oconomowoc,
In her centered all the tenderest
relations of life-daughter, wife,
mother and friend. She has left a
stainless record of love and faith
which remains blessed memory.
Mrs. Henderson came of an old
Scotch family and the influence of
her ancestry was apparent in her
character. The sturdy sense OF in
tegrity, of loyalty to convictions
and hatred of all pretense, which
abound in her ancestry, all had
a new birth in her own personality.
"The church of her childhood was
the church of England. In this
communion the entire family was
confirmed, but on coming to New
Richmond they found no society OF
this kind through which their
| Christian activities could find ex-
preston, and, with no abatement OF
love for mother church or surrender
of her convictions, she, with her
family, entered freely into the
broad Christian fellowship of the
| Congregational church and on COM
ing to River Falls, she became a
member of this body of which she
has been a loyal and enthusiastic
member"
Mrs. Henderson was most low
able woman, truly womanly in
every instinct and desire, modest
and retiring, domestic in taste and
habit and devoted to her family.
Her death is sad loss to the do
nestle and social circle thus be-
reaved.
The funeral took place at the
home at one O'Clock, Monday, Rev.
D. B. Spencer officiating. The
ceremonies at the grave were con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
Order of the Eastern Star, in which
Mrs. Henderson at the time of her
death held the highest office. Her
bright smiles, cheering words and
ever-ready sympathy SO quickly
called forth by others joys and sor-
rows are some of the sweet remem-
ORANGES which her sisters in the
Order of the Eastern Star will ever
cherish.
The bereayed husband and family
have the deep sympathy of the en-
tire community.
..she lives Death cannot claim the soul Inn
| mortal.
| She lives! and will for aye;
! Within the heavenly realms beyond deaths
portal,
/ Thy mother points the way"
