In the study of lives we find those that fill the public eye by conspicuous activities, but others little seen or known in public ways, whose wisdom shines in the home and among the select friends to whom friendship is a treasure and joy. The latter lives after all run in the deeper channels of personal and spiritual power, and to this class belonged Mrs. Pratt. In life she has had many trials, but in all she showed the virtues of rare fortitude and sweetness, and she was never swerved from her life's purposes of service and helpfullness for those whom she might influence and bless. Refined in tastes, skillful in thought and act, persistant in faith, she filled to the full the measure useful living. In her last sickness she was a great sufferer, but her fortitude did not for a moment fail her, and she drew to herself afresh the affection of those who have been ever unstinted in the bestowment of affection...
Besides her two children she leaves one sister, Mrs. Alice Chandler of Sycamore, Ill.
The funeral was held from the residence of her father-in-law on Watson Street and the remains were laid to rest in the Ripon Cemetery.
