Miss Mary Evans, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Cone) Evans, died of dephtheria at 9 o'clock, Sunday morning (January 20, 1879), aged nineteen years and eleven days. The funeral service was at the M.E. Church Tuesday, and was attended by a large number of the relatives and friends of the deceased, though her mother and two brothers were detained by sickness. She has passed from the beautiful life which seemed opening before her, to the more beautiful life in the "Far away home of the soul".

Large are the mansions in thy Father's dwelling,
Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim,
Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling;
Soft are the tones that raise the holy hymn.

The Waterman Leader, January 24, 1879.

A big "Thank you" to Dorothy Meyers for this obituary from the Waterman Leader.
