Florence Williamson Carnal was the
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Graham Williamson, of ArbiIla, North
Dakota. She was born at that place
Is years ago the 1st of June, and her
life was spent there with the exception
OF a certain part of her school years
when she took course of study in
Grand Forks. She was united in mar
riage in Arabilla to Attorney Florain
A. Carnal, Thanksgiving Day, Novem
ber 9th, 1902, and came directly to
Havre where she has lived to endear
+ herself to her host of friends by her
winning ways and pureness of life.
Her stay in Havre has not been unin-
terrupted; she has spent some time in
Fort Benton with her husband who
was elected county attorney; and 3
successive summers she has visited
Arizona in quest Of health, which she
but sought in vain.
The last visit to Arizona was made
in compny with her parents. Her faith
er was called home some time since,
on account of business, but her moth
er remained with her throughout. The
husband was called to her bedside
about month go and remained with
her, returning with the remains Her
last visit down town in Phoenix was
on Easter day, after which she sunk
very rapidly. During her last days
she often had favorite passages Of
Scripture read and found much conf
fort in them. She was quite a bible
student from childhood and the bible
she used had the fly leaves written
full of passages of scripture which
have beautified her life as we can see
when we compar the scripture passag S
and her life. Some of these were
written when she was but twelve
years old.
As her life grew rapidly to it's close
l. her love for all humanity grew broad
er and broader till all RACES and COL
ors had in her an advocate for, she
said, they are all Gods people"
Her mind was perfectly clear to the
last. Only three days before her
death she wrote card to her father
saying she was doing we'll" This
expression she often used VIII never
anyone askd about her health.
When the final day came she was
ready to go and did not fear death.
When the evening came she sent her
love to relatives and friends who had
remembered her by word or message,
not forgetting to mention each one sep
erately. She then had the 91st Psalm
read. Then she said us growing
dark! Where am y" Her husband
answered, You're going home" She
answered, Yes, open the door, orea
the door. open the door, and the val
ley of tears was passed.
