Turner and C. I Died on Saturday morning February 9, 1901 aged twenty-nine years Mibs Mae Miller Lansing, daughter of Mrs. I. W. Lansing and of Mr. I. W.Linsing lately deceased. Miss Lansing was the oldest daughter. She was a young woman of the rarest fidelity and sweetness. She performed the drudgery of a stenog rapher with a heroism that was never conscious. She contributed to the sup port of a widowed mother and sisters. Blue-eyed, blonde, exquisitely neat, always courteous, Miss Lansing pos- Wednesday eessed a repoBe and contentment, v;hich is the sign of a great spirit. The irrita tions and hardships, which ruffle a self centered soul did not effect Miss Lins ing's poise. Among the great army of young girls who earn their own living and contribute to a family's needs, her sense of responsibility to the work she was employed to do, is very rare. Her promptness and efficiency, her immedi ate responsiveness to aoy demand and her quick intuition ot what was required was a part of her unselfish absorption in her work. For the last few months she has woiked with unusual haste and devoted a large number of hours to labor, as if she knew how little time was lei t her. Her mother and sisters have the sympatny of a very large circle of friends. Although she never dreamed of being an example and model, so well she served the twenty nine years of her lot that few who watched the never flickering light will ever forget it, and they will walk the steadier and stumble less for the long rayB which will still illuminate their path.
