She had been a sufferer nearly all her life, and bore it with sweet patience, and in her last illness, she bore the same resignation. She was born in Adams county, Ill., Sept. 21, 1865, and came here with her parents when quite young, in 1870, when they settled on a farm four miles east of the city, and moved into Cherokee about 1889. About eight years ago the father passed away and the mother and two daughters have since resided here, loved, respected, and honored by their neighbors. Miss Belle, as we all call her, was a consistent member of the M.E. church, having joined that congregation under the pastorate of the Rev. M.E. Goddard. Hers was a model Christian character and her life, though one of suffering, was nevertheless devoid of impatience or complaint. Funeral services were held at the home, by her pastor, the Rev. J. Windbigler, and her remains were laid to rest beside those of her father in the Cherokee cemetery.
