Miss Elizabeth YoOSe was Dorm IN
the township of Potosi March 10,
1888. After a brief illness of one
week she died of pneumonia Wednes-
day. March II. 1909 at the age of 26
years.
Lizzie was born and raised among
us, has always lived at home except
a few months when she had been
visiting her sisters in Iowa and at the
Lathrop restaurant where she helped
one year ago and at the present time
where she was stricken with the dread
disease pneumonia, Tuesday March
9th, and died at the Lathrop's home
Marth 18th. Everything was done
that could be done for her, physicians
and nurse was constantly at her bed
side, kind friends ever ready to lend
helping hand or speak word OF
cheer. Sister and brothers went to
see her often to speak encouraging
words, each time hoping to see a
change for the better that they might
carry good news to the heart broken
mother, who sat at home unable to
go to her, hoping praying that she
might be spared, that she might once
more see her loving face, once more
clasp her fondly to her breast, as
she did onlv short time ago as she
babe her goodbye when she re-
turned to her work at the restaurant
that she liked. 1t was not needed
for her to work from home, but she
was ambitious and thought she would
like the change for a short time, and
then she would return home and be
with them again. Lizzie was most
devoted daughter, loving sister, the
sunlight of their home, where she
expected to come back the Sunday be-
fore she died. Mother and brother
we're anxiously looking forward for
the day but it was not to be, instead
she was slowly journeying toward her
heavenly home. Only few days ago
Lizzie was the picture of health. She
attended the funeral of near neigh
Dor, the father of girl friend, try
ing to speak words of comfort to her
friend she said, l know how hard it is
Laura, 1 havn't any papa either; only
one year ago her own father was sud
denly called away, bravely she bore
her trouble consoling the grief strick-
en- mother the best she knew how.
The b1dy was brought back to the
home Thursday to await the arrival
of the sisters Many friends and
neighbors gathered at the home to
lend helping hand in the LIST sad
rite, for one who had endeared her
self to all that knew her, sweetly
she sleeps in her beautiful white
casket, robed in her spotless sbroud.
AS we silently Irvine the beautiful
vines and flowers around her, wa ask
why should it be2
