MRS. ELIZA J. INGERSOLL SUCCUMBS AFTER FEW DAYS' ILLNESS.
Mother of Mrs. De F. Richards and Mrs. K. G. Turner and Loved by Many.
(By Vivia A. B. Henderson.)
________________________
After days of suffering, patiently borne, Mrs. Eliza J. Ingersoll passed from pain to peace Monday, just at the close of the day. At her bedside were her two devoted daughters, Mrs. Eliza Richards of Douglas, wife of the late Governor De Forest Richards, and Mrs. Katherine G. Turner, with whom she has lived for many years. The termination of the short illness was not wholly unexpected, yet it came as a shock to those who had lovingly ministered to her comfort and cheered with their presence the last days. Mrs. Ingersoll was rich in the love of friends, for hers was a gentle, kindly, nature, ever ready to recognize the good in others and to speak the kind words that we all find grateful.
Her heart seemed to have gathered the brightness and sunniness of the southland, where she was born and lived most of her long, well spent life.
Owing to physical infirmity she passed her declining years quietly, happy with her books of which her bible was most loved. Devoted to her belief, the Christian Scientist, she was faithful in her attendance and good works. Sustained by her faith she passed quietly away resigned to the Master's will, leaving the world better for her having lived in it.
