HUNT. - Concerning the recent
death of former we'll known people OF
Oskaloosa, Mrs. Ida A. Hurst, wife OF
Frank Hurst, formerly residents. here,
writes the following from her present
home Estacada, Oregon:
Mrs. John Hunts place joined ours
on the west, and of course she was
my nearest neighbor and miss her
very much as my sister, Mrs. Eunice
Morrison, died on the 9Th of April and
she lived on the east of us, so 1t is
surely lonely without either of them
They were both laid to rest in the
cemetery here in Estacada. When
they were both feeling bad and could
not walk to see each other they would
come, to my house to visit and we all
enjoyed it so much, but the chain is
broken and | alone am left to mourn
the loss of two dear ones. My sister
came in October and we thought she
would improve in health, but death
loves shining mark and she was
with us only until the Sth of April. her
birthday was the 9Th, and she died at
1000 o'clock a. m. no the Sth. We did
not think that the end was so near,
as she was so much better week be-
fore she died. But the goiter on her
neck Slapped her life, and she quietly
passed away. Our friends here were
surely kind to us and the bereaved
husband. The casket was covered
with flowers and was as beautiful
sight as ever beheld, even strangers
to us made wreath for the casket."
July 8. .,- Mrs. Ida A. Hurst.
