Two sisters, one who had only
lacked a year of reaching the Biblical
age, and the other who had long since
passed the allotted span of life and
had journed long arm and arm with
Old Age, passed away the last week,
and within a few days of each other.
These sisters were Mrs. Dolly Howard
and Mrs. Martha J. Rines.
Mrs. Dolly Chase Howard died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. F.
Patten of the town of Spencer Brook,
last Thursday, death resulting from
advanced age. The funeral was held
on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Re.
W. E. J. Gratz officiating. The interment
was at Oak Knoll cemetery.
Mrs. Howard was born in Maine in
the month of April, 1835, and about
thirty-five years ago moved with her
husband, John Howard, to Minnesota,
settling in this section. Her husband
died about twenty years ago. She
was the mother of but two children,
Mrs. Patten being the only child living.
As all that was mortal of Mrs. Howard
was being borne to the cemetery
the funeral procession passed the home
of the aged sister, Mrs. Rines, who
was at that time beginning to enter
the valley and the shadow of death,
and was too ill to even look upon the
final panorama of life, and though
their births were separated by fifteen
years of time their deaths were to be
but a few days apart.
