Cut Off in Her Youth.

Died – At the residence of her parents, Winchester postoffice, Emmons county, N. D., Sunday, May 12, 1901, Lulu, aged 17 years, 10 months and 11 days, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson.

The funeral services were held at the home of the Henderson family, last Tuesday, at 2 o’clock p.m. The services were conducted in a very feeling and impressive manner by The Rev. J. A. Lemery, the worthy young minister who has just located in Linton. There was a large attendance; in fact, the funeral was one of the most numerously attended of the funerals that have been held in this county. From the house a long line of vehicles followed the remains to the grave. The interment took place in the cemetery, only a short distance from the home in which the gentle and loving daughter had grown from childhood to the threshold of womanhood.

Auditor G. A. Herold was in charge of arrangements for the funeral. The pallbearers were Messrs. Alva Burge, Elmer Anderson, Clarence McLain and G. A. Herolz. The honorary pallbearers were the Misses Phena Anderson, Pearl Fuller, Tillie and Clara Aust.

The large attendance showed the respect which those who knew her – many of them since her childhood – had for the deceased girl. But she was loved by all. She was kind, gentle and affectionate – characteristics that made every one who knew her a friend.

This is the second time that the death angel has entered the home of Comrade Henderson and taken therefrom a beloved daughter within a few years of womanhood. In 1894 his daughter Pearl, aged about 13 years, was called away, and the graves of the two sisters are side by side in the family lot at the Burge cemetery.

At the grave an announcement was made by Mr. Lane of the thanks of the parents for the many kindnesses and evidences of respect that had been shown to Lulu, and to the family, during her sickness.
