large circle of friends in this com

ber of her acquaintances, who will
be pained to hear of her death.
Her illness was of but brief dura
tion lasting but two hours, and
was apparently painless. The
funeral services occurred on Tues
day in St Louis, where the remains
were interred.
At the home of her son-in-law in
the city, H. C. Langdon. on Wed
nesday morning, August 26th, Mrs.
Caroline B. Donehower, acred 92
years, passed into the land beyond
the grave.
Death came quietly and appar
ently tree from pain, as the spirit
of the deceased passed away while
the family were sleeping, no pre
vious indications of her early dis
solution being visible. Seemingly
it was but a peaceful transition
from the known to the great un
known, the consummation of the
Creators handiwork. Mrs. Done
hower was the mother of George C.
Donehower, Mrs. H. C. Langdon and
Mrs. E. B. Gibbs, of this city. The
funeral occured yesterday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock from the resi
dence of Mr. Lanjrdon.and was well
attended by sympathizing friends.
For a long term oi years the de
ceased was a consistent member of
the Methodist church, and bv her
christian life well earned a place at
the right hand of the Father in the
never endinsf life bevond.
Died at Gordon, this state. Mrs.
Emily Holmes. The deceased was
a sister of Mrs. Sam'l Adams, of
this city, and for a number of years
made North Platte her home. For
several years she had been house-

While on her way to this city in
company with her husband on
Tuesday to procure medical atten
tion, Mrs. "W. W. Gerkin, of Buch
anan precinct suddenly expired
of some sort of heart trouble.
Owing to "the absence and illness of
medical men in Curtis and May wood
the deceased decided it was best to
attempt to come to North Platte in
hope of relief. When about fifteen
miles from her home in Well pre
cinct she passed away. She was a
lady 26 years old, well admired and
respected by her acquaintances, 'possibly do this
and leaves a sorrowing husband

A PASTOR'S -jcASZWZLL
The following are the closing
words of 3ev. J. C. Irwin to the
Presbyterian congregation spoken
after sermon on Sabbath of last
week: I want to sav this morninjr
what I haye not had the opportun
ity of saying before. "My work
with you has come to an end, and I
presume you have long ere this
ceased to tjiink of me as your pas
tor. In the providence of God my
plans were disarranged, my pur
poses were disappointed. I had
not contemplated closing my work
here so soon; in fact I had come to
love this church and you people so
much that the thought of leaving
you on my own account was not
thought of. t Your kindness and
consideration from the day I came
among you until the day of my res
ignation never seemed to fail; in
fact it seemed to grow as the years
passed. No man could ask more of
a people in any way than you have
given me in every way. I rejoice
to oeiieve tnat we nave had your
confidence, and have it still; when
we leave North Platte I believe we
snail leave many irienas. s a
familv we each one shall remember
the years spent with you as pleas
ant ones in our lives. I do not feel
that I have been -worthy of what
you have done for me; but I trust
as vou have done it unto one of the
least of the Lords children, you
have done it to Him, and that His
richest blessings shall be yours.
Whatever I have been able to ac
complish among you has been
largely due to the co-operation, sup
port and encouragement you have
at all times given me: and what
ever,my successor shall be able to
do will be due to the same. I ask
you now for the sake of God's
cause, tor tue saKe or tuis aear
church, for the sake of the people of
this city -to turn your attention to
him. I should decrease and he
should increase in your thoughts;
receive him as vou received me, be
to him what you have been to me;
and I believe the Lord will continue
-to-blessvou., Let . him . have yourj
confidence and affection, believe
that you have the best pastor in
the state; talk favdrably of him
