SHROUDED IN GLOOM.
Two Manitowoc Homes Saddened By Visitation of Death.
TWO YOUNG LIVES ENDED.
Mrs. Elijah Houghton and Mrs. Bernard Jacobs
Respond to Final Summons--Both Victims of Consumption.
The clouds of sorrow caused by the death of an infant son had not yet lifted from the bereaved home, of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Houghton 'ere the husband and father was once more called upon to drink from the bitter cup which sooner or later is held to the lips of everyone. At an early hour this morning, the beloved wife departed this transitory life and joined the little one in realms of endless day.
Mrs. Houghton had been ill for some time and although loved ones hoped against hope for the better, it was not to be. Quick consumption developed and she faded like the snow before the warm sun of the springtime. For many days she has been confined to her bed, where she has been tenderly cared for by the devoted husband and relatives, nothing that could give her pleasure or relief from pain was counted as too great a sacrifice by those who watched at the bedside.
Hers was a lovable and unselfish nature and even the severe suffering of the past few months was born with cheerfulness. Her thoughts were constantly for the comfort of those who cared for her and as the end drew nigh she became more hopeful. A merciful Father has taken her to Himself e'er she had known much of the sorrow and trouble which life holds for all and under which her gentle spirit would undoubtedly have been crushed.
Mrs. Houghton was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Pasewalk and was born in this city in 1876, being but 23 years of age at the time of her death. Her mother died some years ago, but the father still survives. Two sisters are also left to mourn her demise. In 1897, Miss Pasewalk was united in marriage to Elijah Houghton and one son came to bless the union. A second child was born Wednesday but died at birth. The mother failed rapidly since then and at 6:30 this morning the struggle ended. Her's is now the joy everlasting, but to the dear ones left behind there is the bitter sorrow of bereavement. To the aged father, the loving sisters and the grief stricken husband, whose bride has left him e'er their honeymoon was over, the sympathy of the entire community will be extended.
The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from the late home.
