YOUTH CALLED TO REST.
Rock Island. III

On last Saturday morning st o'clock
at Moline hospital occurred the death
Of Miss Harriet Frances Golden, daugh
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Chas Golden Of
Rock Island. Harriet had been ailing
for the past eleven months but had
not been considered serious until q
week ago last Saturday morning,
when she was taken TO the hospital
p.ior to an operation, which proved
unsuccessful and death relieved this
beautiful young girl Of her sufferings,
DUST few years ago the family was
left to mourn in the same manner,
after one that had just reached the age
of 1s years. and now another one fo.-
lows at the same age.
Harriet was a great favorite among
both young anc old people of the ,ri-
cities. She was q men, ber of the A. M.
e, church and was also uoerintendent
of the Sunday School at tho time of
her death. She was also u great speak
er and has won many high honors
among both white and colored people
for her fine declamations.
The funeral sermon was held Mon
day afternoon from the A. M. E.
church. Rev, ). B. Walkup, OF Moline
her former pastor preached the funer-
sermon, assisted by Rev. Searcy, Rev.
Holmes OF Davenport and Rev. eortell.
The pail bearers were her ,oung gen
tlemen friends, Messrs, Moore, Kane,
Slaughter, Lensday, Morton and John
Gordon.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful, the casket was buried amidst
profusion of flowers. A loving
mother, father, three sisters and four
brothers are left to mourn her death.
The remains were laid to rest in
Chippannock cemetery. The sympa-
thy of the cummunity goes out to the
bereaved family, to Harriet we will
say:
Not now but in the coming years
Il may be in the better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears;
And there be made to understand
