AT REST.
Mrs. Marion Louise Gale.

L
On Thursday afternoon, Febru-
ary 3rd, at 200 o'clock, Mrs. M.
L. Gale answered the final sum-
mons at her home, six miles south
of this city.
Marion Louise StilIman was born
December Sth, 1910 at Petersburg.
New York. She was united in mar
riage to Henry r. Gale, December
10th, 1857 at Delaven, Illinois,
whose death occurred on March 26,
1913 at the same country home
south Of Philip.
Grandma Gale, as she was famil-
laly known TO many, was the
mother of seven children, five OF
whom still survive her.
Her son, Frank L. Gale of Philip
and her daughter, Nellie A. Van
Cleve of Nowlin, South Dakota,
We're those of her Immediate fam
lily who were at her bedside min
lstering to her wants when the
last summons came.
The other children left to
mourn her loss are: Mrs. f. Nj.
Miller Of Yorktown, Iowa; Mrs.
&c. NJ Wildwood of Meadeville.
Missouri: and Harry A. A Gale Gale a a
Cordell, Oklahoma.
Grandma Gale had been indispos-
ed and confined to her home for
about eight months and at her
death was eighty years, one month
and twenty-five days old.
In her passing, the community
has lost a loved one-one whom
held in the highest esteem by
every one who was fortunate
enough to know her--an ideal
mother and wife.
She united with the Methodist
faith early in life and was always
an ardent and faithful Christian
worker. She was a Christian wo-
man of strong faith, strong per-
sonality and lofty ideals, which she
exempEied by carrying into her
daily life. She was always faith
ful and untiring in her efforts.
and mindful of the welfare of
those about her. To know her inti-
mately was to know most kind
and loving mother-a true and
staunch friend. Her kindly and
loving acts, SO carefully and gent
ly bestowed, will always be cher
ished and serve as alasting memory
for righteousness.
Grandma Gales life is sum-
mary of all that is beautiful of
love and devotion IN woman; poss-
Iessing keen sense of humor, trus
sympathy and a generous heart;
she was the ideal loving mother
and friend.
She died as she lived; firm in
her faith and devoted to thoss
who were of the household Of
faith.
The sympathy of many friends
are extended to her children who
found their happiness in minister
ing to her, when she no longer
could minister TO them.
So has life's sunset again been
passed, in the sorrow attendent to
the loss of this mother-love. How
cold and impatient are words and
how doubly deep would be the grief
over the grave, did not the rain
bow of Christian hope span the
dark gulf between time and eter-
nifty. Such lives hers inspire the
belief that there is better world
beyond, where filled from the cor
roding cares of earth, loved ones
are reunited ''after lif's fitful
fever" She has gone to bright
Ier home where sorrow never comes
and while we weep because she il
not, we can say Thy will b
done.
The Resurrection is the silver
lining to the dark clouds Of death
and we know the sun is shining
beyond
The funeral services were held
at the nome Friday afternoon,
Rev Tedford of the Methodist
Church reading the last sad rites.
The remains were shipped that
evening to Shenandoah, Iowa, ac-
companied by her son Frank and
his wife. where she will be laid be-
side the father.
Grow old along with me!
The best is yer to be.
The last of life, for which the
first was made,
Our times are in His hand
Who saith, A whole | planned.
Youth shows but half! Trust God
see all, nor be afraid. !"
