Passing of a Good Woman

several months, Mrs. j. E. Kent
passed away at the family home
last Monday night at the age of 81
years, 10 months and Is days.
Marie Christine Louise Enrich
was born February 5, 1864, in
Friedewalde, Germany, of Chris
tian and Christine Enrich. Of hei
four brothers three are living.
They are: Henry, the Oldest
brother, who lives in Laclede;
Chris, who lives in Whittier, Cali
fornia; and Wilhelm, who lives in
Friedewalde, Germany. The fourth
brother died in infancy.
Mrs. Kent came to this country
in the early part of September,
1885. On February &c, 1890, she
was united in marriage with j. E..
Kent, of Brooklyn, Iowa, to whom
were born eight children: Ethel,
Madge, Marie, Amy, Lena, Harry
Elver, Muriel, and Erma. Of
these all are living to comfort the
bereaved husband except Harry
Elver who died in infancy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kent made their
home in Brooklyn, Iowa, until
February, 1902, when they moved
to Laclede, where they have resided
ever since.
Mrs. Kent was born and grew to
womanhood in the Lutheran
church. She was baptised the
twelfth of February, 1864. Upon
coming to America she became a
Of the Madison M. E.
church Of Brooklyn, Iowa, and
continued in that belief up to the
time of her death.
AS we look by faith to that
eternal future we know that if
the earthly house of this taber-
nacIe were dissolved we have
building of God, house not made
with hands, eternal in the heaven.
The funeral services were held at
the M. E. church Wednesday
conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Dueker, the sermon being
preached by Rev. Mendenhall, a
former pastor of the church.
Mrs. Kent was a member of
Golden Rod camp Royal Neighbors
IF America and carried a $1,000 in
surance policy in that order. The
of the camp attended in
/ body and at the close of the
sermon conducted the burial SER
vices of the order In charge of
Director Nichols the remains were
aid to rest in the Laclede cemetery.
The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the entire community.
We wish to express our sincere
.ratitude for the sympathy and
lelp rendered us by our many
riends in our bereavement.
