The gloom of sorrow in death overshadows the hearts of friends and neighbors in our city again, as we are called upon to chronicle the death of Mrs. Chris Maurer.

Mrs. Maurer had been critically ill for several weeks, with no hopes of recovery. Last evening, August 28, the Angel of Death touched the feeble cords of her life and ended the pains of her suffering.

We sense the loss, in her going, of a worthy neighbor, and extend to the sorrowing relatives our most heartfelt sympathy. We trust that the All Wise God, will accompany you thru the Valley of Death, and lose the ache of your hearts.

As we go to press this morning no arrangements has been made for the funeral.

	Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
	O’er the spoils that death has won,
	May we at this solemn meeting
	Calmly say, Thy will be done.
