THE DARK ANGEL
Death, No Respecter of Persons, Again Visits Fremont
"Mrs. Myra J. Abbott died this morning at 2 o'clock at the residence of her granddaughter Mrs. Frank W. Bullock.

"The deceased was taken ill on Saturday the 13th inst. with pneumonia and was confined to her bed from that date until her death this morning. A complication of diseases was developed and the last two or three days she was a great sufferer. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of F.W. Bullock, the services to be conducted by Rev. L.F. Berry, pastor of the Congregational church.

"Mrs. Mira Jewett Abbott was born at St. Johnsbury, Vt., Nov, 1st, 1809, and was consequently in her 81st year at the time of her death. In 1829 she married Dr. Nicholas Abbott, after which they went immediately to Blue Hill, Me.; from there they removed to Miami County, O., in 1834, where they had a residence of about forty years in the same town. In 1873 her husband died and for the greater part of the time since Mrs. Abbott has been a resident of Fremont. She leaves three children, viz: Dr. L.J. Abbott of this city, E.A. Abbott, now a resident of California, and Mrs. Jennie A. Dimmock, of Denver.

"For more than half a century Mrs. Abbott was a devoted Christian lady and a member of the Congregational church. Besides being a model wife and mother, which is the highest encomium that can be paid to any woman, she was a universal favorite for her vivacity and thorough culture. She was a great reader all the days of her life and took profound interest in literary affairs. Up to the last day of her illness she devoured the best books and conversed as entertainingly as she ever did in her life. She was in possession of all her mental faculties. Her family on both sides have been prominent in the medical profession and in the political world. On the one side the Jewetts enjoyed enviable reputations as prominent physicians in Ohio, and in political affairs her ancestors have occupied high positions in political life all the way up to the presidency, the representative in this high position being John Quincy Adams. [sic] She is the last member of the historical Jewett family. In her death a grand and good woman has gone to her reward."

Go your way to the land of the Ancestors,
where they wait for you with open arms, there on the edge between this world and the next.
See; there they stand.
Ancestral spirits, welcome this one
to the place where we all must go.
