- Mot h er.

On FT1Qay aICeFuOOI], JhllOaIy 1OLu,
Mrs. Mary Hobbs Henderson passed
away at her home in this city on
Second Avenue West after an illness
of nearly two months. For the past
few years Mrs. Henderson had not
been in the best of health and at
times had been seriously ill. Her
suffering has been great, but she was
conscious up to the very last. p, In her
her last hour she quoted passages of
Scripture, or would start a passage
to have it finished by daughter.
Just before she passed away she
called for. the doctor who had
brought her relief at times during
her suffering, but before he arrived
she had passed into the peaceful
sleep that knows no waking. All her
children, with the exception Of Earl
Henderson, were with her at the end.
Earl had been out to the ranch and
had just arrived in the city and was
making ready to 60 to his mother
when the end came, much quicker
than was expected, as her mind was
perfectly clear and the end did not
seem SO near. -.'-'- - >-@
Deceased was born at Greenbush,
Ontario, July 20, 1849. In the month
of October, 1865, she was married to
Issac Henderson. Soon after her
marriage they journeyed by boat by
the way of the Great Lakes to Mime
sofa, and by team into the country
near Northfield. They made their
home at Dundas, where several of
the children were born: To this
union were born six children, Mrs.
Mary A. Hollenbeck of Mt. Vernon,
WASH, Mrs. Ida E.. Davis of Dickin-
son, w. G. Henderson and Mrs.
Nettie L. Yeakel Of Parma, Idaho,
Esley E. and Isaac E. Henderson OF
Berg, N. D.
In 1886, the family moved to Stark
county, settling upon a homestead
seven miles south of Richardton
where they resided until all the chill
dren had grown up and had gone out
for themselves. In 1903 Mr.. and Mrs
Isaac Henderson moved to this city
and occupied the new home they had
built the year before on Second Ave
West. Before they had lived a year
in their new home, Mr.. Henderson
passed away, leaving his widow, who
has quietly lived there since, much
of the time alone. For a number OF
years an only sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
McEwen, and her daughter, Effie
made their home there, but about
two years ago they moved to Port
land, Oregon.
During the late illness her daugh-
ters, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hollenbec'1
and son, Esley, have been with her
almost constantly. Two of the three
were there all the time to administer
to her needs.
The funeral service was held at the
home Sunday afternoon at 1880
Peacefully she lay as in quiet sleep
mid flowers, numerous and beautiful
banking the casket and arranged
about It. Everything about the serv-
ice was as she had wished, with the
thought that death is not the end but
only peaceful rest. E-e

ventist pastor, was down from Beach
