MABEL MAY ABBOTT
After long months of weary, suffering from that dread disease, consumption, the gentle spirit of Mabe Abbott winged its flight to that better world for which she was prepared. The end came Tuesday night and she sank peacefully to sleep after saying spoken a word of thoughtfullriess to the nurse who stood beside her.
In this, her death was like her life, filled with unselfishness and thoughtfullness or the loved ones about her. Few persons we have ever known have exhibited these traits of character to such a marked degree. We have known few indeed who bore life's sufferings and troubles so cheerfully or who met the burdens of life with such a willingness and determination to carry them.
Mabel Abbott was born in this county, July 27, 1886 and spent the greater partt of her life here. Here she grew up and attended school until she felt she must go td work to assist the widowed mother in the support of the small
family. A little later she entered the Leader office and learned soon to be one of our most rapid and efficient compositors. Here she worked for some six years, endearing herself to all whom she came in contact by her cheerful, gentle disposition and willingness and efficiency. She never-shirked a duty or evaded a responsibility. She was never very rugged and a year or so ago tubercular trouble developed and upon the advice of her physician she stopped work in our office and tried a different climate. For a time she seemed benefited and she returned home but soon grew worse again and the past summer she again went to Colorado but this time there was no improvement and about seven weeks ago she returned home and was never able to bo out again but gradually failed until tho end came. Some years ago sho was converted and united with the Christian church of which she remained a consistent member, As long as her strength permitted she did active work in the church of her choice and always lived the life she professed. She lived for others. Her brief-life was well
spent.
She leaves to mourn her loss the mother, brother Joe, and two sisters, Mrs. Eli Nims of Colorado and Mrs. Clyde Norton of South Dakota,
The funeral is being held thia afternoon from the home, conducted by Rev, J. E. Wilkins of the Baptist Church.
