Died, at her home in Freeport, Kansas, August 18, 1891, Mary F. Adams, wife of Owen V. Adams, aged 48 years, 1 month and 16 days.
Her sweet, quiet face was but a reflection of her beautiful soul. To know her was to love her. All through life she has been a ministering angel unto others. Her life was such as others should follow the good examples, but it has faded and gone. She leaves a heart-broken husband and three daughters to mourn the greatest loss that could come to them on earth, for what is a home without a mother? Yet impartial fate knocks alike at the palace or cottage gate and calls our dear ones from us even in the short space of two weeks the length of her sickness - but with a smile on her face she passed into the world beyond, leaving the dear ones to look forward to a reunion where partings can never come, as her faith was in a higher power, one who saith come unto me ye heavily laden and I will give you rest.
O.H.
