Death Calls Mrs. W.C. Dodge
Stricken with Convulsions she Yields up her Life After Giving Birth to Baby Boy
One of the saddest events of recent date in Richfield was the death of Mrs. William Dodge last Saturday. It was entirely unexpected and was all the more shocking to her many friends. She was taken ill on Friday and her husband was summoned from Gold Mountain. He was working in an isolated place and it was with difficulty he was reached. He arrived home in the middle of the night.
Mrs. Dodge had suffered from kidney trouble and thus had reduced her system to such a state that convulsions followed. Added to this was the danger of approaching motherhood. When Dr. Steiner was summoned he did all he could to alleviate the conditions. A little boy baby was born on Saturday morning and for a time the mother seemed to rally from here terrible illness. Towards noon there was a return of the convulsions and the sufferer succumbed to this attack.
Mrs. Vincentia Carr Dodge was a native of Minnesota. She was born at Adams 33 years ago. Twelve years ago she married Mr. Dodge and the day following their marriage they left Minnesota for Utah. Mr. Dodge and his bride went to Kimberly and they have lived here and at Kimberly during their residence in this state. Six children have been born to them, four girls and two boys, all of whom except one girl survive her. The baby just born is a delicate little thing.
Her sister has been notified of her death and has started from Minnesota and funeral services will not be held until her arrival. In the meantime all that loving hands can do for the stricken husband and children is being done by kind friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Dodge has one sister who is something of a poetess and a few years since the latter sent the following verses to her sister in Utah. The sentiment is such that Mrs. Dodge prized them greatly.
TELL HER SO
Amid the cares of married life,
In spite of toil and business strife,
If you value your sweet wife,
Tell Her So
Prove to here you don't forget
The bond to which your seal is set;
She's of life's sweets, the sweetest yet,
Tell Her So
When days are dark and deeply blue,
She has her troubles, same as you,
Show her that your love is true--
Tell Her So
In former days you praised her style,
And spent much care to win her smile;
T'is just as well now worth your while--
Tell Her So
There was a time you thought it bliss,
To get the favor of one kiss;
A dozen now won't come amiss,
Tell Her So
Your love for her is no mistake--
You feel it, dreaming, or awake--
Don't conceal it, For her sake
Tell Her So
You'll never know what you have missed,
If you make love a game of whist,
Lips mean more-than to be kissed--
Tell Her So
Don't act, if she has passed her prime,
As though to please her were a crime'
If e'er you loved her, now's the time,
Tell Her So
She'll return,, for each caress,
An hundredfold of tenderness!
Heart like her's were made to bless'
Tell Her So
You are her's, and her's alone;
Well you know, she's all your own;
Don't wait to "carve it on a stone"--
Tell Her So
Never let her heart grow old--
Richer beauties will unfold,
She is worth her weight in gold!
Tell Her So
