Death Of Bessie Eernisse

Few in this community were
prepared for the sad news that
reached the Island on Sunday
evening from Seattle telling of
the passing from this life of Miss
Bessie Eernisse, only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Eernisse of
Vashon.
Miss Eernisse had been ailing
for some time and was taken to
Providence hospital, Seattle, a
short time ago for treatment.
She underwent a successful oper-
alton, and was convalescing as
rapidly as could be expected,
when she contracted pneumonia.
Last Friday and Saturday it was
apparent that her condition was
serious, and on Sunday afternoon
she passed to the other shore.
Her departure seems like an
irreparable loss. yet her char
acter was so lovable and blame
less, a daily testimony of Il deep
spiritual life, that her influence
will live on: and who shall say
that her life work was not fin
ished. She believed it was fin
ished, and so talked freely with
her mother toward the last about
going away; that she was anx.
ious to be with Jesus, to claim
her title to that house not made
with hands, eternal in the heav-
ems"
Funeral services were conduc-
ted at the family residence, as
she had requested, by a former
pastor, Rev. F. A. Heath, of
Seattle, on Tuesday afternoon.
The music was in charge of
Misses Effie Steen, Ethel Phil
lips, Gladys Jacobs, and Messrs.
Elmer and Edwin Harmelingand
Glenn Kimball. BY request the
hymn, Blessed Assurance, was
rendered at the beginning of the
service, and at the close of Rev.
Heath's beautiful tribute to the
character of the deceased and his
timely exhortation, Safe in the
Arms of Jesus" was sung.
The casket was banked with
the most beautiful floral offerings
that loving friendscould procure.
The pallbearers We're Elmer
and Edwin Harmeling, Willis
Blekkink. f. A. Weiss, Glenn
Kimball and Henry Steen. The
remains were laid to rest in Va
shon cemetery.
