Death OF Mrs. ii. p. Tracy.

S.'se. M ;. ~. Tracy. OF l)aic. TINS
county, passed away at ST. I.uke's
] hospital. in Aberdeen. She had sub
united to an operation for abscess a
i few days before. and. while there
was some hope of her recovery, it
/ was apparent to those near to her
that she could not survive. Her
death took place last Saturday night.
/ Mrs. Tracy was the wife of II p.
Tracy. of Dale, this county. She
was horn in the month Of August.
ls67, in Pennsylvania. and was
therefore nearly forty-two years old
at the time of her death. Her
maiden name was Helen Partridge.
She was married TO Mr.. Tracy in
Bradford county. PENNSYLVANIA, in
July, ISIS. and the young couple a
few weeks after their marriage
came to North Dakota. stopping a
month or so i'm Cass county, and
then came to Emmons county. max
ing their home in the neighborhood
where the family still reside.
The deceased wife leaves eight
children six sons and two daugh-
tiers. Don Tracy, the Linton pho
tographer, aged twenty years, is the
oldest, and baby of three months
is the youngest.
The funeral took place last Sun
day, the interment being made in
Dale cemetery. The Rev Matthews
of Pollock, who is the regular pastor
of Dale church, conducted the SER
vices. The funeral is said by those
from Linton who attended to have
been the largest in point of attend
ance ever held in this county.
There were mnety-siN conveyances
in the procession which followed the
remains to the grave.
1t has been truly said that Death
loves shining mark. and it was
certainly so in this instance. Mrs.
Tracy was noble woman. She was
one of those who had little to say re-
garding any one, and that little was
always good. She was kind and
hospitable nelghbor and good
friend. In the early days, when
| farm homes i'm Emmons county were
4 few and far between, the tired
| ayfarer was always glad to reach
the home of the Tracy family. for
the kindly husband and wife always
took pains to make the guest feel
that he was welcome at their fire
| side.
Expressions of sympathy are but
idle words when a good and faithful
| wife and mother is taken. But
| every one who knew the departed,
and those who know her husband
and children, are filled with sorrow
/ that the Sickle whose name is
Y Death has entered home filled
| With children, some of them very
young. and taken therefrom the
friend and guide whose advice and
direction they will miss greatly for
the remainder of their lives.
