Atkinson passed away at her home in this city Sunday, December 30th, 1917, following an illness of nearly two years. Funeral services were held from the home this morning. Rev. W.J. Suckow, pastor of the Congregational church, had charge of the services. The remains were placed in the receiving vault in Oakland cemetery, and will later be laid to rest in the cemetery at Dundee. Frances Lantern was born in Mezimosti, Bohemia, September 30th, 1871. She came to America with her parents in 1875. The family located at that time in Richland township, where she grew to womanhood. On March 4th, 1894, she was united in marriage with Z. L. Atkinson of Manchester. To this union four children were born. One son, Harry, died in infancy. The three sons surviving their mother are John L., Albert N., and George D. She leaves to mourn for her, her husband, the three sons named, her aged father, Mr. John Lantern, four brothers, Charles, Theodore, Fred and John Lantern, and one sister, Mrs. John Bandy, all living in Richland township, this county. One sister, Mrs. John Wesley, died at Lamont January 11th, 1917. Mrs. Atkinson's death marks the close of two years of intense suffering. She was taken to hospitals and sanitariums in the hope that the progress of the disease which had fastened its relentless hold on her from the very onset of her illness, might be checked. All efforts proved of no avail. During the months of her illness she was tenderly cared for by those near and dear to her. She was a devoted wife and mother, and gave in unselfish services her best to those she loved. To the husband and sons, and those who were attached to her by family ties, is extended the sincere sympathy of this community. Suggested edit: Obituary published in Manchester Press on Thursday, January 3rd, 1918 Death terminated a brave but hopeless struggle against a relentless disease when Mrs. Z. L. Atkinson passed away, December 30, 1917, at her home in this city. For many weary months Mrs. Atkinson had endured untold agonies, and she looked forward to her release with painful eagerness. Funeral services were held from the home yesterday morning, the Rev. Mr. Suckow officiating, and burial was made in Oakland cemetery. Francis Lantern was born in Mezimosti, Bohemia, September 28, 1871, and in 1875, as a mere child, was brought to this country. On March 4, 1894, she was married to Z. L. Atkinson, and to them were born four children-- John L., Albert N., George D. and Harry T, the latter dying in infancy. She is survived by her husband, three sons, four brothers, Chas., Theodore, Fred and John, and one sister, Mrs. John Bandy. Mrs. Atkinson was a hard-working, conscientious woman who devoted herself utterly to the care of her family. Her fidelity to her aged husband and her three sons was constant, and she will enjoy the reward promised by the Master when he said: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
