Mrs. Phoebe Mol»onald died at her home
In this city ia«t Friday night at 11:30 1*.
M, after an illness of about six, week
which was caused by falling on a defec
tive side walk and dislocating her hip,
the shock from which she was too feeble
to recover. Her long residence in this
vicinity and ner loving disposition had
made her hosts of friends and many
tcaia were dropped when the coltin lid
closed over her inanimate form A short
sermon well selected for this occasion
was preached by Rev. Madley after
which the remains were conveyed to
Suunv Slope cemetery and interred
at2:3> Sunday Dec. 30. 1000. On account
of the severe weather the turn out was
not large. The bereaved relatives have
the cineere sympathy of the entire
neighborhood. Miss. Phoebe \oakes
McDonald, was horn at Thurso, Canada,
Nov. 0 1827 and died in Loup City
Nebraska Dec. 28 1900. Mrs. McDonald's
maiden name was Phoebe T. Noakes.
Wlien 19 years of age she wa* married
to Mr. John McDonald at Thurso Cana
da where they lived very happily for
seven years. In 185:1 they moved to the
state of Illinois, where they continued
t > reside till 1881, when they moved to
Sherman county Nebr. On Sept 4lh
1887, Mrs, McDonald was bereft of her
companion and left to travel the re
mainder of iifes journey alone. Nine
children were born to this union, two
whom departed this life before their
mother and seven of whom are still liv
ing and mourn her loss. Mrs. McDon
ald was a woman of sterling integrity,
and true worth. She was an earnest ac
tive woman, a loving companion and a
noble mother. Her lot was one of care
and toil, but she had a sunny disposi
tion and ‘ a hear, for any fate"
During her Inst sickness she seemed
conscious that she would never recover
and said it was all for the best lor her
life work was done. All through her
last sickness she wore a peaceful quiet
look, .lust as a lake mirrors the blue
sky above and trees and grass about it,
so her soul seemed to reflect something
of the beauty and peace of heaven. She
was not a woman who talked much of
her feelings or her inner life, but her
life was hid with God in Christ. Hi i
trust was simple as a hilds. She put
her hand in Christ's and left it there.
Her last testimony whs “1 am happy in
God and 1 hope when my children come
to die they will tie as happy as I am."
Her death was like a gentle sleep and
her awaking was on the other shore in
ilie presence of her savior.

Darius Reynolds and Mrs. Phoebe Mc

On Saturday afternoon we were
requested to call at the home of our
old friend Votings. Five o’clock
found us sinking hands with the
family and others who Lad likewise
been requested to be present. We
found Mrs. Young able to sit up
and in good spirits and ready to
welcome each one. Soon the door
of the dining room was thrown open
and behold a table loaded down
with all the good things ot Xmas
times. During the meal we learned
that Miss Henrie had prepared the
sumption* repast and we do not
doubt it, for Miss Young has in the
past proven herself capable of per
forming any task assigned her. \Ve
were royally e'ntertained and had
all the turkey we could eat. As
each one departed we heard them
say “we enjoyed the evening im
rnensly and our holy-day wish is
that Mrs. Young may recover and
be able to spend many holy days
with us in our homes."
