life. For two long years she gently and patiently bore the severe
affliction of lung disease, which finally caused her death. She was a
great favorite among her many friends and acquaintances and always had a
cheerful smile or kind words of condolence for all, as occasion
demanded. The funeral was held Sunday at the Mexico church. Services
were conducted by the Rev. Deitch, assisted by Rev. Bauman. Text,
"Blessed are the Dead Which Die in the Lord." A large audience of
relatives and friends was in attendance.
We miss thee from our home, dearest Cora,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hands,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee,
In the peaceful grave's embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished
'Till we see thy heavenly face.
