About five years ago the family moved to Creighton from Stanton, Nebr., where they had resided for about 17 years. She had been in poor health for a number of years, but during the past two years, she was a constant sufferer.
She was brought home from an Omaha hospital, Dec. 6, where she had been for over a month under the best medical skill and where everything that was possible had been done for her recovery.
Since coming home, skillful nursing and the kind of care loved ones and friends have administered that her suffering might be relieved, but to no avail.
Her friends were numbered by her acquaintances for her sweet and cheerful disposition made all who knew her love her, who was every ready to sacrifice herself to alleviate the suffering of others. Even during her long illness, she seldom complained and when her suffering was most intense, she bore it patiently until the Heavenly Father called her to that Home of peace and rest , where she will know no more pain and suffering.
