Death of sister Groesbeck. Elizabeth Thompson Groesbeck, the beloved wife of Nicholas Groesbeck, departed this life December 28th, 1883, aged 63 years, 4 months and 12 days. She was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the 6th day of April, in 1841, by Elder William Smith, at Nauvoo; emigrated to the gathering place of the Saints in the year 1856. She leaves a husband and eight children--six sons and two daughters - to mourn her loss, all of whom were present at her death, except one daughter, Sister Josephine Smith, who is with her husband on a mission to Europe.
She died in full faith of the Gospel, and in anticipation of coming forth in the morning of the first resurrection, and with her latest breath urging upon her children to keep the faith, and live lives worthy of Latter-day Saints. So has passed away a mother in Israel, whose hand was ever open to bless and succor the needy, whose heart was singularly free from gulle, and whose memory will ever be held in sacred remembrance by her devoted husband and loving children.
Funeral services at the Seventeenth Ward Meeting house at ll a.m., Sunday, December 30th. Friend of the family are invited to attend.
