Aged 62.

Dau of Dura & Sarah Bradford.

Died, on Tuesday morning, April 1st, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. H. Faulkner, Mrs. Harriet B. Bearce, wife of Mr. Z. S. Bearce. of Turner. Maine, aged 62 years. Mr. and Mrs. Bearce arrived in Abilene last September to spend the winter with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner, expecting to return to their New England home about April 1st. Mi's. Bearce had been in feeble health for a number of years, and it was hoped by her family that a change of climate might be beneficial to her, but it proved to be otherwise; and after an illness of a few weeks she was gently and gradually overcome by "the sleep that knows no waking." There are left her husband, two sons and a daughter who feel that in the death of this patient, loving, gentle wife and mother, they have lost their dearest earthly friend. The remains, accompanied by her husband and son Frank, were taken to Turner, Maine, where burial services will be held in the Baptist church, the church of which she was a member and Which she for years adorned by her christian character and upright life. Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praiseth her." (Abilene Reflector 4-3-1884)
