Kate, the daughter of Charles and Ella HAYWOOD, was born on a farm south of Linton, September 10, 1883, and died November 5, 1926, at the home of a sister, aged forty-three years, one month and twenty-five days.

When she was quite small, her parents moved to a farm south of Mineral. Later moving still nearer that place, where she lived until three months ago when her mother, being called by the angels, went out of her life, leaving her lonely indeed for the love whose place no earthly being can fill; but she was richly blessed with the tender care and devotion of a large family of sisters and brothers, who left nothing undone that was possible for them to do to make her life cheerful and bright.

Those who are left to mourn her untimely departure are two sisters, Mrs. Ann ROACH, of Rockwood, with whom she was living at the time of her death; Mrs. Jane FERGUSON, of Bloomfield; and six brothers, John, Sam and Hote, of Bloomfield; Lee of San Francisco, Calif; Eli, of Koleen, and Paul, of Mineral, the last named being a Methodist preacher. The father passed on about ten years ago.

When Kate was almost through the common school branches she became afflicted and remained so until death; but she was congenial, industrious and obedient, always submitting her will to the will of others, and was always happy when sisters, brothers, and friends were with her, for like Paul she regarded her afflictions here as being light compared to the glory awaiting her, and her sun of life sank from sight before setting time, with no evening shadows, no richness of ripened fruit, no loneliness of old age. Like Moses, she was taken while yet her eye was not dim, nor her natural force abated. But death has all times for its own and we are again called to witness the dissolution of this earthly tabernacle; the loosing of the cords that bound this dear one to earth and especially to the hearts of those near to her in the flesh.

How glad we are that when this body, which is only our temporary abode, fails us that we are promised a dwelling place, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

She was a member of the Christian Church at Antioch.

Now all her problem are solved, all her questions answered, and the daily account of her life closed; but the ledger of her life cannot be balanced until the returns from the countless deeds of love and devotion, kind words and friendly smiles are all in and what a credit side there will be for He who cares for the sparrow takes account of all these things, and now she has entered into that Holy city, the New Jerusalem, for God’s finger touched her and she slept.

Funeral services were conducted at the Mineral church, Sunday morning, Nov 7, by Elder T. A. COX, and the body was laid to rest in the Smith Cemetery south of Mineral.
