THE TOMB
Died---At her home, in this city, July 12, of flux, Mrs. Augusta L., wife of Mr. Wm. H. Silver, aged nearly 44 years.
Mrs. Silver has been a resident of this city a little over a year, but in that short while she endeared herself to the hearts of all with whom she came in contact. She was born near Mobile, Ala., in July 1846, and was one of the four children (two boys and two girls) of Dr. J.H. Hastie, now deceased, who for a number of years was a prominent physician of Mobile. Her mother, one brother, a husband and a daughter, Miss Claudia, survive her. A friend and neighbor desires to append to the article.
A TRIBUTE
On Saturday night, July 12, in Lexington, Mo., at the residence of her husband, Mrs. Augusta Hastie Silver, the loved and devoted wife of Wm. Silver, passed gently and peacefully away, falling asleep in Jesus. Mrs. Silver was truly a woman in the noblest and best sense of that term. Born and reared in Alabama, she was a faithful type of the genuine southern lady, possessing in an eminent degree those rare qualities of mind and heart which ever distinguish the daughter of the south. At once gentle and genial in her manner, she readily won the love of all with whom she mingled. To her gentleness and frankness of manner was added a force of character which commanded the deepest respect. Mrs. Silver's daily life, her evenness of temper, her willingness and readiness to fly to the assistance of others and give herself wholly to their needs, marked her pre-eminently as the possessor of that which always marks God's true children. She ever manifested the genuine fruits of the spirit. In life she was lovely, in death she was made perfect through God's school, the school of suffering. She leaves behind a bowed and almost broken hearted mother, daughter and husband. May the dear Father temper the minds of these, His stricken children, teaching them the precious truth that the soul of their loved one is now at rest with her Savior, and that her sacred dust only awaits the call of the Heavenly Bridegroom, who, having gone to prepare a place for His family, will come again to receive them unto Himself that where He is they may be also.
