A FEW WORDS Of
APPRECIATION

Truly the world Is moving, and
by no means the least important city
that is taking an active part In the
hustle and progress of modern times
is our little but fast-grOwing city OF
Bismarck
Hence it comes that, in the stress
OF current events, in our increased
speed of living, accompanied as they
are with new associations, the form.
ing Of new personal acquaintances
and the passing of the older genera
ton and obliteration Of old land
marks, the younger members of the
community and later arrivals are apt
to forget those who were pioneers in
territorial days and who are now
quietly yet swiftly passing over the
river into the Great Beyond. Many a
story Of unobtrusive courage and no
bic companionship could be narrated
OF these early settlers, which only
come to mind as, one by one, they
leave US for that other life of which
We know so little but hope so much.
Such a story of parental devotion
and Christian motherhood is recalled
by the passing of Mrs. Nora White,
who so recently laid aside the troubles
of this world and went to her reward.
Coming TO Bismarck with her par,
ents in the early sos. Mrs. White,
then in her young woma nllood, be

striving TO shake itself free from the
Grougher element that seems to be an
always present evil in the first de-
velopment Of western cities, and her
presence and example. aided by others
OF like courage and determination,
was q strong and lasting factor in es-
tahlishing society upon a decent and
orderly basis. With her marriage
came increased responsibility, and
in the tender obligation Of mother
hood the community again saw the
exercise of a wise discretion and
kindly parental love. il,
For the last twelve or fifteen years
of her life Mrs. White was often a
sufferer from bodily ailments, which
finally become confined invalidism.
Following the death of her husband
increasing i'll health compelled her
to seek relief in a change OF climate,
and many health resorts were tried

ceived from the ministration of the
Christian Scientists. Of which faith
Mrs. White was a firm and conscien-
tious adherent. 1t is a beautiful
thought of this persuasion that death
is only a temporary absence from
those who remain, and. in this belief,
looking forward happily to a perfect
reunion with her beloved mother and
daughter, she fell asleep. The scr
vices were conducted under, the
Christian Science ritaul.
Mrs. White is survived by her mo-
, Their, Mrs. B. F. Cage and her daugh

ment that would uplift the commun'
ity and promote social advancement.

It is expected that the family will
resume residence in Bismarck in the
near future. Their arrival will be
a home-coming-and perhaps as some
may think, but there will be many
true friends to welcome and old as
sOciatiOns to renew.
