1910; died at her home in Mahaska
county, Iowa, Feb. 5, 1913, aged ~
years, 2 months and "a days. She
came to America in 1856 and settled
in Pittsburgh, Pa. She was married
to VIM. Ross the same year she came
to this country. To this union there
was born one daughter, Mrs. Mollie
ICruth. She was married the second
time to r. M. Baxter on July 2, 1872.
TO this union four children we're
born. Jennie, who died in infancy;
Mrs. Ida B. Dilley, Mrs. Carrie b. Wat
ers and Fannie, who is still at home
She leaves a husband, four daughters
one sister, three brothers and three
cousins to mourn her loss. For many
years Mrs Baxter was an intense SUI
ferer. Her disease was iniiammatory
rheumatism, her first attack being
over four years ago, and since then
her suffering has been constant. She
lost her eyesight six years ago, since
which time she has been totally blind
Yet her patience In suffering was
beautiful to see, her great faith in
God helped her to endure pain and
be grateful for every act of kindness
which she received She loved her

Johns Gospel, the 10th chapter of LIST
Cor, the 9th of I'd Cor. aud the 35th
Iof Isaiah being some of her favorite
passages. She fed upon Gods prom
Use, Isaiah 1915, Then shall the eyes
of the blind be open" or her We can
truly say she walked by faith. not by
sight. Her home was her realm and
to her even when she was an invalid
her daughters brought their troubles
and she considered them on all the
affairs of their lives. She appreciated
every act of kindness and would say
to the family, you are always SO good
to me. She told her loved ones not
to mourn for her when she went away.
When her feet were stepping into the
stream of death she said to Gne, II do
trust Him." VIM. Caruth, (brother)
of Leayenworth, Kansas, and VIM.
Caruth (cousiu) of Webster City, Ia,
and Matthew Caruth (cOusiD), of Will
family. No more appropriate words
can be found for the close of such a
life than Rev. 14:13, And l heard a
voice from heaven saying unto me,
write. Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord from henceforth. Yea
sayeth the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors and their works do
follow them" The funeral services
were held at her late home, one mile
east of Oskaloosa, Saturday at 200
y. m. Rev. Malone, of the United

sermon, and her body was laid to rest
