You are required to answer said petition on or before Monday, the nth day of January, 11)09. Jamfb V lticiiAitiw, Plaintiff, by W. Mitchell, his attorney natal December 2nd, ipos. f p Dec. 3-4w DMtNf a Good Old Lady After seventy-five years' pilgrimage in his mortal life, Mrs. Ellen C. Silk, an old pioneer of Box Butte county, gave up the fight and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Patrick Collins, who lives about thirteen miles north of this city. For several years Mrs. Silk has not been strong and age told on her frail forni. She made her home, here and there during the declin ing days of her life, and it was plain to see that she longed to go to the home of her Fathcr whom she adored with the faith of a child. Though years passed by and the good old lady had fulfilled her mission in life, yet it seem ed to 'please the Creator to try her patience, and those who kucw Mrs. Silk can testify that it was not in vain. Through (cold or heat, sunshine or storm the patient old woman could be seen at Holy Rosary church, her bent and tottering form bowed in rever ence to the Blessed Sacrament, while she fumbled over a well-worn rosary held in her hands. There seemed not a thing to live for. The family uf children she brought into this world have grown to manhood and woman hood and the home that once resounded with their voices is deserted. The husband and father passed away soma twenty years ago, aud the end came to Mrs. Silk none too soon. The funeral took place last Sunday at i i o'clock from Holy Rosary church, Rev. Father McNamara officiating. With the tenderness that always char acterizes Father McNamara be spoke most beautifully of the life beyond the grave and the deceased's fortitude and Christian faith, His heart went out in sympathy for the deceased in the days of struggle when it seemed so hard to keep up courage. For months Mrs. Silk made her home near the church and attended Mass daily. Recently it became apparent that the good old lad could no longer care for herself, aud hence she went to the country to reside with her daughter. The funeral rites at the giave were most impressive. Nature seemed to weep with the mourners, for a gentle snow fell softly as the casket was slowly lowered into the grave. It all had the appearance of a tvpical west em burial, and the landscape in its dreary winter garb was in keeping with the conclusion of a life of many years. Deceased leaves nine children to mourn her death. A daughter from Spcarfish, on account of delay, arrived last Monday, too late for the funeral. A Great Fruit Country The Herald has received the follow ing letter from Walter Richardson, who has located in Idaho, dated Oct. 3. 1908.
