OBITUARY
Austin Daily Herald
September 6, 1901
Died at her home on Water Street at 1 o'clock today Mrs. Henry Furtney. Funeral notice later.
The line between life and death, between time and eternity is faint and no mortal eye can discern it. Yesterday the friends of Mrs. Furtney saw her in her usual health and strength today the silver cord is loosed and the grim messenger has issued his final call. The home is desolate and the links of friendship broken.
Bessie Mills was born in North Manchester, Wabash County, Indiana in 1862. She was married May 6, 1885 to Henry Furtney of this city. One child, Vernon Mills was born to them and died after a short life of but five years.
Mrs. Furtney has been a member of the East Side Presbyterian Church since moving to Austin ten years ago. She was also a member of the Ladies Aide Society, the G.I.A., and the Calendar Club. In every place she was loved and respected. Her pleasant ways and helpful friendliness will be missed by the co-workers in these organizations. Her death comes with a great shock and casts a gloom over the East Side where her home was the center of many pleasant memories.
Besides her husband she leaves a mother and four sisters of whom Mrs. Krisher of this city is one. The others residing in St Paul, Minneapolis and Indiana respectively. She also leaves Miss Virgie Furtney, a niece who has made her home with her.
