FoRTITUDE.

FORTITUDE. Whose heart is free from boding thought Shall lift life's burdens up And in a glow from heaven caught, Quaff from a bitter cup. Nor shall the storm affray his soul, Nor yet the steepest height; Hope gilds the way, the wished for goal Dawns soon upon his sight.

Obituary.
MRS. WILLIAM TRICK.

Mrs. William Trick passed away at
the family home in the Third ward
Thursday night at 1920 o'clock. At
ficted with cancer for the past five
years and the disease failing to yield to
medical treatment, it became evident
that the end would come gradually, al
though she was never confined to her
bed at any time with the exception of
the last two weeks.
Annie Stephens was born August IS,
1867, at Whitechurch, Tavestock, Eng
land. On August 5, 1887, she was
united in marriage to William Trick.
Residing in England for some years,
the family came to America and settled
in Edgerton ten years ago.
Besides the husband five children
survive, three daughters and two sons,
Nellie, Selena and Elsie, and William
and Faank, all of whom were born in
England. A kind and loving wife and
mother, good neighbor and friend,
she was ever ready to render aid to the
needy and afflicted and her memory
will ever be cherished by the sorrow
ing family and all with whom she form
ed the acquaintance.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at two o'clock by Rev. G. K.
MacInnis, and was largely attended by
sympathizing friends and neighbors
who gathered to pay farewell respects
to one whom they have so long known
and respected. The beautiful casket
bearing the remains was completely
bedecked with the choicest flowers.
The pail bearers were Mayor A D..
Skinner, James Harrison, Henry Tay-
lor, George Davey, Marve Marsden
and George Parr.
