A TRUE CHRISTIAN
ANSWERS SUMMONS
Mrs. e. A. Stone Summoned to Great
Beyond Monday Morning
at Three O'clock.
DEATH CAME VERY SUDDENLY
Was Apparently in Usual Health at
Time of Retiring Sunday Even
ine-shock to Community.

Nothing has so startled the COM
munity as the sudden death of Mrs.
E. A. Stone, which occurred about .
o'clock Monday morning at the Beu-
tel home, where the Stone family
were temporarily living. Mrs. Stone
had apparently been enjoying the best
of health up until late hour on Sun
day night, and we doubt If she had
a single suggestion that her happy life
was so soon to be terminated until
the messenger of death claimed her.
Those who saw her on the streets OF
the city on Saturday afternoon, ap-
parently in the best of health, were
not prepared to believe that in so
short a time she would be called
away On Sunday she attended church
as usual and the same on Sunday
night, having dined at the George
Menagh home on Sunday evening just
before church. After church social
call was made at the Charles Menagh
home and about 10 O'Clock or little
later she returned to the Beutel home
where she spent half an hour or so
in the parlor playing with the Beutel
children. About II O'Clock she re-
tired and later complained of diff
Guilty in breathing. An effort was
made to secure a physician, but with
out success. About the time OF her
death Mrs. DR.. tombstone was CON-
municated with and came to the house,
but not in time to afford any relief.
Such simple remedies as those in at
tendance could use were employed
and apparently some relief was Sc
cured, but about 8 o'clock, without
scarcely struggle, she suddenly
passed away. The doctors diagnose
her case as one of acute indigestion
and without question this was the
cause of her death.
Elizabeth Hobbie Stone was born
May 20, 1858, in the state OF New
York, near the city of Rochester,
where she grew to womanhood and
lived until the time of her marriage
to E. A. Stone on December 20, 1886.
She Immediately came with her hus-
band to Denison, where they lived
several years, and in fact ever since
their marriage, excepting eight or
nine years, when they lived portion
of the time at Cedar Rapids and a

Wash.

a large space in the hearts OF Deni-
son people and enjoy the respect OF
everyone with whom they are &C
quainted. Mrs Stone was of cheer
full and happy disposition and had
kind word for every person she met.
For a number of years they have been
identified with what is known as the
Holiness church here, and no one
needs to be told that she was de-
vout christian She did not have to
make a public profession to convince
the community that she had been
with Christ and learned of Him, be-
cause her daily life demonstrated this
fact.
Funeral services are being held
this afternoon from the Geo. Menagh
home, Mr.. M. Bohart, who formerly
lived here, but now residing in South
Dakota, officiating. The body will be
laid to rest in Oakland cemetery.
