LOUISE HALL SUCCUMBS
Dies In Clarence Saturday After a Short Illness

Not often is a community as a whole so shocked and grieved because of the death of a loved one as was ours Sunday morning when it was stated that Mrs. S. M. Hall had died Saturday evening at 7:35 at her home in Clarence. For two weeks she had been very ill and the bulletins gave no hope for recovery. Yet it was the wish of everyone that she might be spared to her husband and her relatives in Edina.
Short funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon at 12:30, Rev. J. W. Pearson officiating. The remains were taken to the Burlington depot accompanied by a large number of friends who remained until the arrival of the train that was to bring the body to Edina. The funeral party arrived here Sunday evening at 8:34 and was met by a large number of sympathizing friends.
The funeral was conducted from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Linville, Monday morning at 10, Rev. S. E. Botsford officiating. The house and yard were filled to overflowing by loving friends, who were present to pay their last respects to one of the well beloved persons of the community. As a further testimony of the high esteem in which Mrs. Hall, or Louise as everyone called her, was held, an immense number of flowers were brought and sent by those intimately acquainted with her.
Immediately after the last sad rites, the body was interred in the Linville cemetery. The pall bearers were from Clarence, all close friends of Dr. and Mrs. Hall. They were: Joe Wine, F. S. Shepard, Dr. T. C. Brown, Oscar Worthy, J. L. McCoy, and Frank Wine. The flower girls were her intimate friends in Edina and were Misses Ruth Brown, Martha Brown, Ruth Grainger, Hazel Goodwin, Josephine Ennis and Mrs. Frank Shafer.
Louise Adams Linville, born in Edina September 11, 1893, and spent her entire life in this city until the time of her marriage to Dr. Stanley M. Hall December 17, 1913. At the time of her death she was just entering the most glorious period of life, being aged but a little over 21 years. She was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church, one ever active in all phases of church work. She was a graduate of the Edina School of Music and the high school. Her loving disposition and ready sympathy to all in trouble gave her a most worthy title, "Sunshine," as she was familiarly called. She is survived by a devoted husband, father, and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Linville; three sisters, Mrs. F. B. McElfresh and Mrs. J. H. Fisher of Edina, and Mrs. P. E. Kayler, of La Junta, Colo., and one brother, P. B. Linville of Edina. Besides there are many friends who extend sympathy to the bereaved.
The funeral service at the home was most impressive. The music consisted of a solo, "No Night There," sang by Mrs. Frank Krueger, a duet, "Come Unto Me," by Mesdames Krueger and Wilson, and a quartette, "Asleep In Jesus," Mesdames Krueger and Wilson, and Messrs. Musick and Ennis. The discourse of Reverend Botsford was very short but fully expressed the feeling of all who heard it. As it vowed the sentiment of the people of this vicinity toward Louise we produce it in full.
"Sixteen months and three days ago, at six o'clock in the morning, I stood where I am standing and spoke the words that made Louise Linville the wife of Stanley Hall. It is, therefore, with no little depression of spirit that I speak to you today of this brief but beautiful life that has been so unexpectedly taken from us. I has been said that we are prepared for the death of the old; we can, in a measure, be prepared for the death of the young, but it is hard for us to reconcile ourselves to the death of those who are taken away in the flower of youth and the morning of usefulness.
It sometimes happens that the sun arises with unusual splendor, you have seen such a day. In golden armor it battles with the forces of nature and sends its light flying across the western hills. It is thus we witness the life of Louise. She was like one of those new born days of supernal splendor. She brought golden light in to every heart and every home she entered. Through heavenly graces she was dedicated to the good, so that her life gave hope and hopefulness to every one. She was a fountain of love. She "loved souls, both as souls and folks," and she won both love and admiration wherever she went.
Life is not measured by the calendar, but by experience, thus it can be truthfully said that we live in deeds and not in years. Measured by that standard the deceased will live on and on. Nothing in the universe is lost. This is not only the teaching of the Scripture but it is also the teaching of nature. If science teaches us that no energy can be lost, how we love, sweetness and purity be lost? There was real worth in the life of Louise Hall; invaluable to her young husband, of unusual comfort and consolation to her father and mother, an asset to the church and society; and I say it with all seriousness, reverence and humility, of worth to God.
If there is anything earthly that would picture her character it is sunlight and roses. If there is anything heavenly that portrays her nature it is live. What more does this old world need? What more can heaven itself demand? Sunlight, roses, love; there give joy to man and glory to God the Father.
To the perplexed, if there are any, over this untimely death, let me say there is no solution to the problems of life and the mystery of death in this world. But to the broken hearted and the bereaved let me add we need never despair if we have learned to confide in a Father who in the ultimate will work all things out for good.

In conclusion let me say she was ready, for
"Through the deep silence of the moonless dark,
Learning no footprint of the path she trod,
Straight as an arrow cleaving its mark,
Her soul went home to God.
"Alas," we dry, she never saw the morn,
But fell asleep outwearied with the strife;
Nay, rather she rose and met the dawn
Of everlasting life."

Those from Clarence who attended the services in Edina were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shepard, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wine, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Graves, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Ray, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Funk, Mrs. Roy Crawford, Mrs. Roy Kemper, Misses Alberta Griswold, Blanche Tucker, Messrs. Charles Breedlove, Lewis Jacobs, Strother Ridings, Maurice Yeoman, Henry Soldan, Oscar Callison, Elmer Stamper, Joe Baker, Manuel Farrell, Frank Wine, J. L. McCoy, Oscar Worthy, Dr. T. C. Brown. Those from a distance were Dr. Paul Kesner, of St. Louis, and Fred Cox, of Moberly.
