Death of a Pioneer LADY.

This community was profoundly
startled when word came that Mrs.
j. b. Brock had died in Bismarck
Thursday forenoon of last week.
The remains were taken to Hazel
ton, and there the funeral took pace
last Thursday at clock p. m. The
service took place in the Presbyter-
ian church, in which a large congre-
CATION who wished to pay their last
respects to the departed we're seated.
Blanche Cornella Palmer was born
in Dixmont, Maine. sixty years ago
next September. On May l6, 1873,
she was married to jerome B.
Brock. The young couple resided
in Brighton. Massachusetts, until
April. 1884, when they came to
North Dakota, settling few miles
.outh OF Williamsport, this county.
There they resided many years,
when they left the farm and came
to live in the suburbs of Linton.
About two years ago they went to
the Pacific coast, making their home
at Gridley, California. A few weeks
ago they returned to Emmons coun-
ty to visit their friends and old-time
neighbors.
Mrs. Brooks near surviving rela-
tives are her husband and a sister,
Mrs. George Waterbury. of Spring
dale, Connecticut.
1t has hcen the writer's duty to
chronicle the death of many of the
pioneers. but he does not remember
of the passing away of any one of
them who was more generally
mourned than is the good woman
who has just been called. Well
the writer remembers the deceased
lady and her good husband in their
early days. They We're always fore
most in making the social gather
ings of those days successful, and
the latch-string of their hospitable
home always hung on the outside.
Good neighbors and loyal friends.
they had not aA enemy i'm the com
munity, and everybody wished them
we'll.
The heart OF every one who knew
Mr.. and Mrs. Brock is filled with
sympathy for the bereaved husband.
The relations between the husband
and wife were more than usually
close. Having no children on whom
to center their love. they conferred it
on one another. and we know of no
couple in the county to whom the
Angelof Death could bring greater
bereavement than To the survivor in
this instance Among old-timers
and among comparatively recent
Corners could be heard on the day of
the funeral and since. g. feel sorry
Tor Rooney, as MIR. Brock is
known to all his old neighbors.
The pioneers are rapidly passing.
A few more years and they will live
only in memory. And, among them
all. around none will cling sweeter
and dearer memories than those of
the good wife, the kind neighbor
and the true friend whom an All
wise Ruler has just called to her
heavenly home.
