We have often been called upon to mourn the death of a dear friend, but seldom in our life have we been so burdened with real sorrow and heartfelt grief, as on this occasion. And in this we only are in accord with the entire community who seem to be stricken with a double grief. The cause of this sorrow is the sudden death of Mrs. Laura Teare. She died about 12 o'clock on Monday night, July 19th, of what the doctors call thrombosis, that is a clot of blood impeding the action of the heart. The death was all the more sad, as we all thought she was getting well and hoped to see her bright face about her daily duties, in a few days at longest.

Laura Anibal was born December 13, 1873, at Bigelow in this county, where she lived most of her life. She came to Craig with her parents some years ago, and was a teacher in our public schools for several years She was ever religiously inclined and of a most lovable disposition, and joined the Methodist Church south in February, 1894. In the church she was a most active and useful member, attentive on all of the meetings and services and especially devoted to her class in Sunday School where she had been a teacher of a class of bright young girls for several years.

She and Mr. Louis L. Teare were united in marriage, Sept. 23, (illegible). Mr. Teare was then our postmaster and the young couple enjoyed the highest degree of confidence and esteem it was in the power of our people to bestow. There was born to them a bright baby by on July the 19th and both parents had the congratulations of their friends on the event, but death is unrelenting and pitiless and so he took the dear wife and mother away and it seems now that nothing but sorrow remains. We cannot understand why we flutter in our earthly flight and so often fall before (illegible) begun. It is hard to see why we so often get wrecked upon lives uncertain sea, just when we are beginning to sail the most triumphantly, but so it is arranged and we must submit.

So industry, modesty, kindness and devotion to duty were the loading features of her life which grew up like a tender plant, beautiful, bright and sweet, but was cut down in the freshness of its blooming seemingly to die and with away, but as we know by faith only to bloom again more grandly than ever beside the River of Life.

The funeral was preached by Rev. Gray at 1 o'clock Wednesday. He was assisted by Elder Tandy of the Christian Church, after which her mortal remains were taken to the Mound City cemetery for burial. An immense concourse of people attended the funeral and followed her hearse to the grave where she was buried in a beautiful casket covered with richest and fairest flowers. The Epworth League had provided beautiful cut flowers and a crown and anchor of richest floral art with the others bedecked her grave placed by the bands of loving friends.
