IN MEMORIAM

DIED: at her home in Mulhall, Oklahoma on April 15, 1896, Mrs. D.N. (nee Augustine) Dwinnell, wife of Captain D.C. Dwinnell, aged 31 years, 4 months and 27 days. Mrs. Dwinnell was born in Seneca, Kansas, November 18, 1864, and married September 18, 1889. She was a member of the Presbyterian church in Mulhall and the very efficient teacher of the infant class in the Sabbath School. Her endeavors for the good of all within her reach were limited only by the measure of her strength. Her delight in the widening range of benevolent employment grew until the arrest of disease commanded pause and bade her be content to display the charms of submission and cherish those graces which are to grow brightest in a higher sphere. Gradually under a complication of ailments, her strength sank until her spirit passed out to sing henceforth among the ransomed blood washed throng with her Redeemer evermore.

The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. J.H. Aughey, with a crowded house and sorrowing congregation. The text was Rev. 14 chapter and 13 verse "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."

The choir, led by Dr. W.M. Hatfield, rendered some beautiful selections appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. O. Collins presiding at the organ.

The business houses were all closed and all the people joined with the bereaved husband and family in mourning the early departure of one so universally beloved.

She leaves a husband and child (Helen, six years old) and a large number of sorrowing friends to mourn her loss.

After services the funeral cortege left on the northbound evening train for Frankfort, Kansas, where the remains will be interred in the cemetery of that city.
