nl,ltnarr---NIrn. Chas. sApp.

Not only Abilene and Its vicinity
but all who knew Mrs, Charles sapp
we're overwhelmed with grief when
II was known that she had died at
her mothers home at Abilene on
Tuesday morning. April is, 1912.
The funeral services were held at
ST. Andrews church on Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock, Father o'Reil-
" who sang the mass also gave
very touching sermon in which he
spoke very highly Of Mrs. sapp. Her
remains were laid to rest at the
Catholic cemetery at Abilene.
Mrs. sapp was born In Jewell
county rs years ago. She moved
with her parents to Abilene at the
age of five and lived there until
the time OF her marriage to Charles
Sapp. After her marriage she left
Abilene with her husband and they
made their home in Topeka for about
two and one half years; they then
moved to Junction, where they lived
until the time Of her death. Mrs.
Sapp was a very devout Catholic,
a credit to her parents and to her
,hurch. She made friends wherever
she went; her funeral bespoke the
esteem in which she was held by
all who knew her; and those who
could not attend at her obsequies
sent many beautiful wreaths. When
death comes to our home and snatch
IS one of the family circle we are
we'll nigh beside ourselves with sor-
row, yet in the midst of our afflic-
tion we very often find comfort and
consolation in the thought that the
sufferer had already lived a very
long life and 1t was best that God
should take them from this vale or
tears. When, however, a Young per-
son, one of the best and noblest OF
Gods creatures is taken away In
the prime of life we feel their loss
very keenly and such is the void
made by the death Of Mrs. Sapp.
Mrs. Sapp was stricken with the
dreadful disease, diptheria, which
she contracted from her little boy
last November. For some time she
lowered between life and death but
a change for the better come so that
she was sufficiently convalescent to
return with her mother to Abilene
who took care of her in her illness.
During her stay in Abilene she did
not grow Setter; nevertheless she
was looking forward to that day
when she would return to her home
in Junction City to take up her for
mer duties; that day never came. And
when her life was drawing to a close;
when the inevitable came, her great
est triumph came. Eyincing that
faith which she received in Holy
Baptism, knowing that her hour was
at hand when she was about to go
tc her eternal Father she had those
who were near and dear to her at
the bedside, praying for and with
her and thus in the words of her
Divine Master she said "Thy will
be done" Yes, dear Lord thou hast
given her life, thou hast not given
her many years, yet she has lived
a long life for in few years she
has accomplished much. She has
left OF mourn their loss her husband
Charles Sapp, and son, Earl. Her
mother, Mrs. Hinchon of Abilene, one
sister, Mrs. Fred Mccullough, and
three brothers, James, John and
Thomas. To these as well as to all
her acquaintance the memory tof
her life is and will be benediction.

of good feshy butcher cattle with quite a
good many good grade heifers were among

good demand, while the lower grades are

Several loads of feeders were received
