1t is with infinite sadness we
chronicle the death Of Mrs. Emma

Friday morning, June Is, 1917, at her
home in the village The cause Of her
death was a lingering illness of
| complication of Diseases Emma Mary
Donsing, daughter of Fred w. and the
late Mary Donsing, was born in Lake,
Milwaukee county, March 26, 1888, and
came with her parents to Somers ,yhen
little girl and passed most of her
young life in this community where
she was SO we'll beloved and esteemed.
Her joyous sunshiny nature had its
influence over all with whom she came
in contact and in the passing on our
vicinity loses one of its most promin-
| ent and noble women, one who will be
missed in all walks of life. During
the six years of failing health she
manifested these qualities of woman
| hood that will ever endear her to the
hearts of all who knew her. In all
| her brief life she has taken an active
part in social and civic affairs and was
ever ready to do her part in the various
undertakings of the church and the So
| cieties to which she belonged. Early
in life she united with the Presby-
terrain church. March IL, 1905, she
was united in marriage to M. A. Ras
mussen who with two little daughters,
Dorothy and Bernice, her father, one
brother, Fred w. Donsing, three sisters,
| Mrs. William Lauer, Mrs William F.
Bose, Jr., Mrs. Curtis Smith, survive
her. The funeral services was held
from her late home in the village on
Sunday afternoon at two 'clock.
Another hand is reckoning us,
Another call is given,
And CLOVIS once more with Angel steps
The path which leads to Heaven
There seems shadow on the day,
| Her smile no longer cheers,
A dimness on the stars Of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will,
| One thought hath reconciled
That He whose love exceeded ours,
Hath taken home His child.
Fold her, o Father, in Thine arms,
And let her helceforth be
| A messenger of love between
Our human hearts an9 thee.
