DEATH OF MRS. TIMOTHY J. SCOFIELD
"In the midst of life we are in death."
And no one knows what a day will bring forth. The sun may be shining brightly today, and tomorrow be wrapped in clouds of deepest darkness. But through them and beyond them we peer with longing eyes are comforted by the assurance of God that our dear ones are now in the "Land of the Leal" surrounded by the golden glory-His eternal love."
To each and every friend of Mrs. T. J. Scofield the announcement of her death came with thrilling, telling force for so suddenly was she taken and so suddenly came the death angel that those who loved her best can scarely realize that she passed beyond."
Mrs. Scofield and son Junius had gone to Washington Island in advance of the family. She was in her usual health, and at time of her death was in bathing. As she was coming to shore, Junius saw her plunge forward and hastened to her side. A doctor was immediately summoned, but she was beyond all human aid.
Mr. Scofield and son, Dr. Charles Scofield went north to meet and accompany the body to their home in Chicago where funeral services were held Saturday, August 1st.

Cherill, who is now the only living member of her father's family.
January 15, 1897, Mr. and Mrs. Scofield with their family of six children , the oldest not then 19, and the youngest not 4 years of age, moved to Chicago and occupied the residence which for more then seventeen years has been for them a beautiful home-a home not only for them, but also for their friends and neighbors who loved them and whom they loved.
Mrs. Scofield, while living at Carthage, Ill., became a Christian, taking membership with the Christian or Disciples Church. She was faithful fo her Saviour until death. She exemplified in her life the christian virtues and graces. She spent her life for the good of others.
She spent her life for the good of others. In her family she was a loving and devoted wife and mother. She loved her husband, children and grandchildren with a love that had no limit. Her affection extended to her daughter-in-law and sons-in-law, and she felt for them as if they were her own children. She loved her sister and her sister's family, and all others with whom she was connected by blood or marriage. But her good deeds were not confined to her family or relatives, but gladdened the lives of all who came within the sphere of her life of ministration, self-sacrifice and love.
And while she is gone from us, it is but for a little while. We shall see her yet again when waiting time is over. By and By the gates, which have opened to receive her, will open for us, and with a loving greeting she will welcome us home.
"The silver circle of her service sweet
Is her memorial shining and complete.
For her no slow decline, no long delay,
God knew the signal hour, the better way,
And called her home while yet it was day."
The many Carthage friends of the bereaved family sympathize deeply with them in their time of sorrow.
