A letter from Mrs. Hattie Monahan
of Minneapolis announcing the death
of her sister, Rose, was received by
the Herald's Potosi correspondent, a
few days ago. Mrs. II. NJ. Cade nee
Rosa Bandy died at her home, 1921
Grove street, Bellingham, Wash, Oct.
%, 1915 of Bright's disease, aged fifty
years, 10 months and days. She had
been a patient sufferer for about three
years. The last four months of her
illness she suffered intense pain, but
bore them with great fOrtitude until
released by the angel of death. She
was born in the village OF PotoSl,
Grant county, Wisconsin on the 14th
day of January, 1865, and was a
daughter of the late Green Bandy and
wife, old pioneer residents of PotoSi.
Many here can remember Rosa as
bright and handsome young girl. She
was married in Potosi September IL,
1884 to Charles A. Reed, a young man
who wandered into Potosi and worked
at odd jobs. This marriage was against
the will of her parents, and many
were the misgivings of her friends who
predicted that this union would not
be a happy one. They moved from
Potosi for the North and West, and
for some years she lived most unhap-
py life which became intOlerable, and
she finally sought for and obtained
divorce, the court giving her the GUS
tody of their one child, a daughter.
Her beautiful young life was blighted
by being misused by Reed. She got
along and did the best she could for
herself and daughter, who is now
eighteen years of age and married. On
June 8, 1913, Rose was married to
Mr.. Hiram NJ Cade at Seattle, Wash,
a man highly hOnored wherever
known. He was very devoted to his
wife and made her life pleasant and
happy during the short period of their
marriage. Besides the Borrowing huS-
band she is mOurned by her daughter,
Mrs. Gladys Reed Duncassen of Fern
dale, Wash, two sisters, Mrs. Hattie
Monahan of Minneapolis and Mrs. Bes-
sic Gaskill of St. Paul and one brother
George w. Bandy, of Madison, Cali
fornia.
