Shirley SpenSiey Phillips.

Again this community is in the pres
ence of the profound mystery that ends
a human life. with all it's sorrows and
joys and temptations. Tuesday after
noon, Sept. 8, 1907, death with "sickie
keen" garnered from the home of our
esteemed citizen, Hon. Jas. ,Spensley,
| a flower of everlasting sweetness and
charm for that Celestial Eden beyond
the Great Divide, when Mrs. Shirley
Spensley Phillips, eldest daughter of
Mr.. Spensley, was forever severed from
all that is earthly.
Deceased was born in Mineral Point
June Is, 1858, thus her life YVES span
of AZ years, 2 months and Is days.
Here she spent an ideal girlhood, her
gentle, pleasant nature ever command
ing the admiration of all. In 1888 she
became the wife of Mr.. f. w. Phillips,
an upright and intelligent young man
of this city. Since their marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Phillips have resided away
from here in Texas, Iowa and Chicago,
the last ten years in the last named
place, where Mr. Phillips has been en-
gagged in railroad service. Their lives
We're so tremendously blended that
every link was welded with happiness
and content. To one bereft as the hus-
band must be the loss is irretreivable,
yet the duty he has so faithfully per-
formed, the nobleness of her life, gently
heroic even in death, should tend to
soften the great grief and make less
unbearable the fathomless sorrow.
About year ago Mrs. Phillips health
began to fail. B-ight's disease had
taken hold. and the best Of medical
skill and tender nursing failed to rout
the destroyer. A few weeks ago de-
ceased, accompanied by her husband,
came to the parental home in this city,
where her charming and exemplary
life peacefully ebbed away in the pres
ence of loving husband, parents, broth
ers and sisters. Those present from
away were her brother John, his wife
and daughter OF Staceyville, Iowa, her
brother Richard of Deer Lodge, Mont,
her sisters, Mrs. Jennie Skewis of In
wood, Iowa, and Mrs. Alice Ruhof of
Depue, H., and her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Mayea Spensley and little son of War
rer fl.
though forevermore gone out from
amongst us. Mrs. Phillips life was so
freighted with the noblest qualities of
woman that memory of her will be
ever cherished by every acquaintance.
