Bereavement.
Passed to the life eternal, Thursday, Oct. 9, Mrs. Susan Watson, widow of the late Harry D. Watson of this city.
That which called death by us is to her the life everlasting; released from suffering and weakness to live forever in Paradise. Yet she would have been happy to stay, to continue her sojourn on earth; for the sake of the beloved daughter and son whose devotion at all times, especially in her long, trying illness, soothed the couch of pain, and for the sake of the absent sons whose hearts were grieved that the could not share the vigil of the sick room, and brighten her hours of illness.
Mrs. Watson was a woman of inborn gentleness and refinement. Things common to all and often little noted, had a message to her-trees and flowers, sunrise and sunset, lifted her thoughts with love and appreciation to the Maker and Giver of life.
In all the relations of life she was devoted and unselfish. Asking nothing for herself, contented if she could but add to the happiness of others. Hers was the life of service. The blessed sleep fell on her and stilled the lips of pain; but sorrow remains. Sorrow in the hearts of her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Bentley, who long for "the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." Sorrow for the sons, Robert L., and W. B. Larkin, for sisters and brother and all to whom her life was dear. A good woman has gone from earth. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the home on Jordan street, conducted by the Rev. Jasper K. Smith.
Flowers, beautiful and fragrant, brought by the hands of love, covered her casket, and her resting place in Greenwood cemetery where trees and birds and blossoms keep vigil for the blessed dead.
