Death of Mrs. Zeb Chaney.
Mrs. Wilma Chaney, wife of Mr. Zeb Chaney, passed away last Friday morning, February 27th, at her home four miles east of Monroe, after a two-week illness of influenza and pneumonia.
She was a splendid Christian, having joined the Baptist church earl in life. She has lived a true and noble life ever since. Nearly eight years ago she was happily married to Mr. Chaney and a happier pair is seldom seen. She was always cheerful and open hearted to every one. She was never too busy or too tired to make a friend or neighbor feel welcome at her home.
Mr. Chaney has the sympathy of his entire host of friends in his bereavement. Mrs. Chaney was only about twenty-seven years old, and it seems so sad to have to give up one who was so young, especially as she leaves three little children - two little girls, aged five and three and a tiny little boy, who at the time of his mother's death was only two days old. We can't understand why she should have been taken, when her little family needed her so much. Besides her husband and little children, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. F. Helms, and nine brothers and sisters survive. The brothers are Messrs. Boyce, Loyd, Hoyle, Roland and Claud Helms, and the sisters are Misses Ada Mae, Ida, Kate and Annie Helms. This is doubly hard on her parents and brothers and sisters, hers being the second death in the family within a week, Mrs. Fred Chaney, another sister, having died last Monday.
We find ourselves asking, why? when we are called upon to give up our friends and relatives especially when they are so young and seem to be needed so much but - "Some day we'll understand, and some day we'll know."
We extend our deepest sympathy to the sorrowing husband, children, and relatives. May they see the silver lining in the clouds.
Funeral services were held Friday at the residence, by Rev. E. C. Snyder at two o'clock and the interment was at the Williams cemetery by the side of her sister, Mrs. Fred Chaney.
