Died, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. James Shannon, in Bonham, on the evening of the 5th of January, 1893, Mrs. Elizabeth Wacaser, in her sixty-third year. Her maiden name was Smith, her brother, Major A.T. Smith, being well and favorably known all over the state; and he is the father of Rev. W.R. S. Smith, of St. Louis, one of the best and ablest miniters in this country.
Mrs. Wacaser was the mother of nine children, but three have gone before. Her husband died about two years ago, and she has since been making her home with her children. She had been in failing health for a long time, and for a good while she has been most helpless. Her loving children and friends gave her every possible attention, but she grew gradually worse until she fell asleep; "Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes."
She had been a constand and devoted church member from her ninteeth year, and died as she had lived - in the faith.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yes, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works as follow them."
The funeral took place from Shannon's house at 10 a.m., services being conducted by Rev. A..B. Miller, pastor of the Baptist church, the presence of quite a number of sympathizing friends, most of whom followed the remains to Willow Wild, where the services were closed and rare and beautiful, flowers were left on the grave as a token of love and friendship, and as emblems of the past and immortal bliss, which the departed is now enjoying.
