the grim reaper, death, at one o'clock
Monday morning, after an illnsss of
several months duration, the cause of
the death being heart failure. While
not unexpected the news Of the death
OF this estimable young lady caused
intense grief to her many friends in
the city.
Mrs. Nimocks was born in Illinois
May 3lst, 1876. Removed with her
parents to Kansas, settling al. Canton.
Mcpherson county. In 1897 she
came to Great Bend as a teacher Of
vocal music in the Central Normal
College, While there she met Mr..
Nlnocks, aod the friendship formed
ripened until they we're united in
marriage August 22ud, 1900. For
a short time they resided here, then
they moved TO Kansas City, later to
Chicago, and about eighteen months
ago they returned to Grea: Bend, Mr.,
Nlmocks having taken the position of
manager for the E. X. Moses MeIc.
Co.
Mrs. NimockS was a member of
the Congregational church, and the
funeral services was conducted by
Rev. Sutherland at the church. We'd
nesdaY afternoon at 2. p. m. Mrs.
NImocks is survived by her mother,
who is in Los Angeles, in feeble
health, by one brother, Thomas, in
Meade county, formerly being located
near Clailln, and Two sisters, residing
in Kansas City, one sos, Lawrence,
five years old, and her husband.
Deceased was a young lady cfgreat
talent, a devoted mother, a loving
wife and staunCh sympathetic friend
and one whom We will miss from this
vale Of tears. Her bright smile,
happy countenance, and cheerful
voice will be missed from the family
circle, the social functions, the church
gatherings, and most of all by him
who can hardly realize at this time
the loss that has come to him, little
Lawrence. She left him to the care
Of her who can aud who will do more
for him than any other person, his
grandmother, Mrs. Nimocks, and she
left him assured that he would be
Taught TO reverance the memory of his
mother, and to so conduct himself in
the life that is before him, that as she
looks down upon him from her place
in heaven, the smile of satisfaction
will be on her face, instead Of the
sigh of regret. The young husband,
who after 80 brief a time has had
taken from him his chosen companion
for life, has the earnest and sincere
sympathy Of his legions Of friends.
They bid him to cherish the memory
Of her who plighted unto him her life,
and to live as she would have had
MIN 90 had she been permitted to re-

death Of husband and wife is sad al
any time, and especially so when
their life is in the future before. But
we must not permit ourselves or the

thou, hts altogether, but bid him be
brave, and uod the pathway Of life
looking beyond the grave for that
reunitlng with his loved one, which is
sure to come. Our hearts 60 out in
sympathy. more than that we cannot
