It is seldom that our people are so shocked as they were on hearing of the death of Mrs. J. P. Orcutt on last Sunday morning. The lady had been ailing but a few days and even her most intimate friends were not alarmed until within a few hours of her death, when she sank rapidly. All that medical skill supplemented by the kind and solicitous ministrations of friends were exhausted in her behalf, but it was not enough. The dark winged messenger had marked her for his own. Whilst in the midst of the conflict and in love with life, he aimed at her his fatal and never deviating arrow and the hand of man was powerless to turn aside the cruel shaft. Having struggled to the summit of life's pilgrimage and from its giddy height surveyed the tumultuous scene below, she turned aside and her weary feet were spared the thorns which infest its declivity.
She laid aside her burden and is at rest. Neither disappointment and heart anguish nor death and bereavement, will ever again put her heart string to the tension. If the joys of her life are ended, the in Chicago in 1903.)
