THE LATE MISS MCDONALD
Who Passed Away at Her Home in Murray
on Friday, May 17, 1907
A precious jewel from us has gone
and Dassed into that fair and happy
home. Again has the Angel of Death
visited our neighborhood and taken
from a once happy home, a kind and
loving daughter and dearly beloved
sister and one who will be sadly miss
ed by all who knew her.
The long days and nights of patient
suffering, waiting and watching has
ended, and the light of the perfectday
has dawned upon the radiant spirit of
Miss Florence McDonald, who on May
17, passed into the mysterious sleep of
the grave. Calmly and peacefully like
the closing of a summer's day, the
spark of life went out of her tired
spirit and Hew to the haven of rest.
Florence, daughter of Mrs. Myra
McDonald, born Nov. 30, 1SS4, leaves a
mother, one sister, Mrs. Grace Mel
linger of Ashland, Oregon, and
brother, Oscar of Murdock, and many
relatives and friends to mourn her loss
The services were held in the Chris
tian church at Murray. It is said to
be the largest gathering ever there
Rev. A. L. Zink of Plattsmouth, spoke
words of comfort and consolation to
the mourners and in his discourse
likened life unto a llower that cometh
fourth and is cut down. Paying
beautiful tribute to the life of one who
has been called so early to give up all
that had been near and dear to her
lere below.
The dear one wished to recover for
the happiness it would bring to others
but could not. Otherwise she was
glad to no. She bad expressed faith
n her Savior and was ready to depart
from this shore, from which her fath
er had departed fourteen years ago
She was a constant sufferer for fifteen
montns irom a complication oi (dis
eases, and with a patience born of di
vine grace, she bore her sullenng to
the last moment with such a spirit of
cheerfulness, that she was taught a
sweet lesson of uncomplaining, self-
forgetfulness to these wbo were with
ler often during her illness.
Loyingly and tenderly we laid her
to rest by the side of her father in the
Iorning cemetery and paid our last
tribute of respect to one esteemed so
highly and around whose memory will
cling so many pleasant recollections.
Slowly and surly the cloud of sorrow
has settled over the home and un
speakable sorrow is burdening the
nearts of tnose wuo loved ner. it is
hard to give up those we love. But
the ruler of the universe knoweth
best and he who has taken her away
will be their guiding star.
Alas, that mortal men so little know
As tlirouyrli this vale they tretl.
They cannot see life's future charjrevl with
woe
Not e'en one step ahead as on we tro so
strangely led.
Dear tired hearts wit h ills oppressed.
Fly to the shelter of (-toil's breast :
What can hurt thee or alarm
Within the circle of his arm!
Never mind earth's stormy weather
(toil and His own are close together.
She was a dear and true friend to
all wbo knew her. None knew her
but to love her. Those who knew her
best loved her most. She possessed
that cheerful disposition of always
seeing the brightest side of life even
n her last hours spoke these cheerful
words to her mother "to think all was
for the best and look for the good
things in life." To our short sighted
wisdom, the death of such a needed
one seems a sad mistake. But God's
purpose is unknown to us, and all
things work together for good to those
who love ITim. The kind Father
hath some need of his beautiful flower,
so lie called her to a highbr sphere to
finish her work in the happy realms of
the blest. It was not meant for us to
completely understand.
We only kow that thou hast ffone
And that the same returnless tide
Which bore thee from us.
tt ill glides on and on:
A nd we who mourn thee with it glide
Beyond the shadow and beyond the gloom
Where sorrows never come:
Beyond the dismal dark ness of the tomb
Where flowers sweet in fadeless beauty bloom
She is at home.
Card of Thanks.
We take this method of expressing
our most heartfelt thanks to tnose
kind friends and neighbors who ren
dered such valuable assistance during
the illness, death and funeral of our
dear daughter and sister, Miss Flor
ence McDonald. Their kindness will
never be forgotten by us.

means of forcing water over the house
and to any point desired.
