The Weekly Butte Record (Chico, Calif.), Saturday July 31, 1886, pg 1 col 4: Obituary. The death of Mrs. Eades, which took place July 15th, some three miles from Chico, has been deemed worthy of something more than a passing notice. She was an estimable lady, whose quiet and useful life passed without ostentation, yet was full of true greatness in her everyday life, in attention to the duties and care inseparable from rearing a family. She had attained the age of 56 years, when called hence by a decree that knows no denial, and to which all one unquestioned allegiance. During an illness of some six weeks, her patient and uncomplaining spirit was upheld and soothed by the constant and unremitting attention of her daughter, Mrs. Apperson, whose filial care and solicitude accomplished all that was possible to turn aside the shaft and retain a kind and loving parent yet a few years for the guidance of her children in the weary pilgrimage here below. It was not to be. The mission of the kind, indulgent, yet watchful, tearful, prayerful, guardian and mother was filled, and, consigning those dear to the love and protection of the Savior, peacefully fell asleep, even when it was announced and believed she was in no immediate danger, and was really convalescing. Her fatal illness began while visiting her brother George Anderson, and she was removed to her home, where all that medical skill and filial solicitude and care could accomplish, sought to avoid the sad termination. But the irresistible decree had gone forth and the kind administration of loving hands could not stay nor turn aside the shaft. A noble woman, whose mission on earth was well filled. She had been called from the midst of loving and devoted children to a seat higher up in the service of Him, “who doeth all things well.” Why weep when the just and the good pass away? Rather rejoice that the trial is ended, and that a faithful, true and kind mother has passed to that reward promised and demonstrated in the death and resurrection of the Savior. The good never die. Fear not. Filial kindness was not effectual in retaining mother here. It has accomplished a higher and better purpose, however; for it is the shibboleth by which ye shall meet again “in a land that is fairer than this,” and where sickness and sorrow and partings are unknown.
