Miss Amelia E. Treweek died at the home of her mother Mrs. William Treweek, in this city, at a few minutes past 10:00 last Friday evening, of consumption.
Deceased, generally known as Millie, was the eldest surviving daughter of the late William Treweek, born in the city May 5, 1878. She graduated from the Mineral Point high school with the class of 1896, followed teaching for two years in Diamond Grove and one year in the city, but feeble health compelled her to abandon the profession. For a year past her friends have seen the cloud impending, that has finally fallen to envelope them.
In their loss, the widowed mother, brothers and sister have the sympathy of a large circle, who have known their loved one from infancy, and recognized the beauties of her character. In whatever form or whatever stage of human career death comes, he is always terrible and cruel, but when he strikes one in the bloom of promising youth and withers the bright flower in its fullness of beauty and fragrance, his cruelty seems most crushing.
The funeral on Sunday was attended by a very large number, and the general sorrow manifested, evidence that the community shares in the loss sustained by the immediate relatives. Rev. J. Hardcastle conducted the religious services, and the local chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, of which deceased was a member, contributed the impressive funeral rights of the order. All exercises were at the house and burial and Graceland Cemetery.
