Mrs. Mamie Drake Reese
In the death of Mamie Drake Reese, wife of Mr. Walter Reese, which occurred at St. Elizabeth’s hospital Monday, September 24th, at 6:40 p.m., the community is called upon to mourn the loss of one who was greatly loved. She had not been well for about a year, but it was only within a few days that we realized the end was so near.
She always had a bright, cheerful, hopeful disposition, and was ever king and considerate of the feelings of others.
It is said by those who took care of her in her last sickness, “We never had such a submissive, uncomplaining patient.”
She was a faithful daughter to her aged parents, she and her husband administering to their every want in their last days.
She wanted to live, and tried to bring her will power, that had so often served her, to battle against disease. She was the last to give up. But when she knew she must go it was found that she had made all preparation for her departure and was ready to go. Her last words to her husband were, “Don’t worry, Walt. ‘Look Up’ I’m crossing the river.”
She was 30 years old September 8th, and a member of Raper M. E. church and of Dayton Hive No. 146 of the Ladies of Maccabees. In this order she held many places of trust. Her work was always well done. She was also a member of Mistletoe Lodge, of which she was recording secretary, and was a member of the Daughters of Rebekah and of the Rathbone Sisters.
She will be laid to rest in beautiful Woodland Cemetery Thursday afternoon.
“And is she dead, whose patient life
Lifts ours on high?
To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.”
