The Herald has received the following
from Captain Floyd X. Waltz: Captain
Floyd X. Waltz, Fifty-ninth United States
Infantry. desires Ia thank his many friends
m Brownsville for their kind expressions
OF love and sympathy and for the respect
the yall have paid to the memory of his
dear wife, Isabel Pierce Waltz. Ii seems
unnecessary TO e~ulogize her wonderful
sweetness. goodness and usefulness: the
memory of her clean. beautiful life can
never fade from the minds and hearts of
those who knew her. To her husband. who
knew her better and more Intimately than
anyone else on earth. she seemed to ernbodv
all that l. high and pure and noble. To HIM
she was the finest example of American
womanhood. Why one sol loved, 80 happy
and 20 worthy of the very best in life
should be taken away j. something we can
never understand. May Gods will lie done.
May her sweet spirit watch over and direct
the steps OF her grief stricken husband
may the two little babies from whom she
died prove worthy .f the sacrifice: and
may her HE ever be a help, "A blessing and
an inspiration 10 all who knew and loved
her"
