WILLHIDE.
1t is with sadness we chronicle the sud-
den death of Mrs. Addie Willhide, below
ed wife of Geo. E. Willhide, of this place.
In the hour of motherhood Mrs Willhide
gave up her life for her child Monday
afternoon, June 2, 1918.
The anticipated event was looked for
ward to with some misgivings due to
weak, nervous condition superinduced by
several attacks of lagrippe and attending
influences. While this is true, compare
lively few were aware of it, hence her
taking off came as shock and surprise
| Mrs. Willhide was most estimable
lady. Tried by every test, she proved
herself worthy of the confidence and es-
TEEN in which she was held. Her love
and devotion to home, the interests and
comforts of all, were beautiful and com
menddbe. She filled well and willing her
place as wife and helpmate to her strck
en- husband. Her love and affection for
him the day of her death was as tender
and thoughtful as that of bride.
Her motherly affection and devotion to
her children counted no sacrifice toogreat
no service too exacting that her children
might enjoy themselves in becoming
ways. AS the christian mother she was,
she was solicitous concerning the moral
and spiritual welfare of her children.
! Down to the last moments of conscious
! ness she counseled them to prayer, love
and loyalty to God and the church. In
all the walks of life Mrs. Willhide was
the same worthy and estimable woman
kind, neighborly, ready, willing, helpful.
She was a consistent member of the
Lutheran church for number of years.
Her lament was that owing to the many
cares devolving upon her she could not
exercise herself as actively in church
work as she would liked The care of
an aged mother together with her home
duties interfered no little with her reg
ular attendance upon the stated preach
ing of the word and other public christ
ian duties.
Our community sorrows and unites in
expression of sympathy for the stricken
home Dark is the hour, sad the hearts
and almost crushed the faith of loving
