Death has again visited our community, and chosen for its victim, Augusta, wife of S. K. Shumaker. She had been a patient sufferer for some time from that dread disease consumption, and passed away Wednesday night June 8th, 1899. She leaves a husband and four small children to mourn their loss. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community, in this their sad affliction. After a brief but impressive service at the grave, all that remains mortal was laid to rest in the Wait cemetery, there to await the joyous summons, "come forth." Gusta, as she was more familiarly called, was loved and respected by all, and will be greatly missed. By her death much is lost; the husband losses a faithful companion, the children a fond mother, and the community a good neighbor. But our loss is heaven's gain. We bow in humble submission to the will of Him, who doeth all things well. Though 'tis hard to part with loved ones-sad to see these earthly ties severed, yet it only strengthens the ties in heaven, where parting shall be no more. Husband weep not for wife, children grieve not for mother, parents grieve not for daughter, for she is done with suffering and is at rest. "Surley the bitterness of death is past." Think not of the body which you have seen laid to rest, but think rather of the spirit which has returned unto God who gave it.
"Her little ones are left to a father's care,
Wending to the soul's bright home;
We promise him the help of a brother's
prayers,
Going to the soul's bright home."
"The little feet will tire in the rugged road,
Sad and lonely they will be;
But a mother's hand will beckon up the hill of
God,
Come my precious children to me."
