The Denison Review
Friday, March 6, 1885
Died. Laub. In Denison Saturday morning February 28, 1885, L. Belle, daughter of H.C. and Lydia Laub, of spinal paralysis, aged 20 years, three months and one day.
The deceased was the fifth daughter of Honorable H.C. Laub and wife and Denison was her birthplace and had always been her residence. For nearly five years she had been attending school at Cornell College where she made many warm and lasting friendships. In her school life she was a faithful conscientious and diligent student and gave promise of being more than ordinarily successful in intellectual pursuits, and especially in the field of literature. She was possessed of a warm, amiable and vivacious nature, always carrying sunshine with her, and made friends wherever she went. During the eight long weeks of her sickness she was a constant sufferer, enduring an intense agony that few are called upon to undergo, but throughout all this time she received every care and comfort that the loving hearts and willing hand of her family and kind friends could devise and execute. A few days before her demise she gave her heart to the Lord and received the sacrament of baptism, and subsequently expressed herself as being perfectly happy in her Heavenly Father's love. This is the first death that has ever occurred in Mr. Laub's family and it is a sad affliction to all the members thereof. In their hour of bereavement it cannot but be comforting to them to know that they have sincere condolence not only of the people of Denison, but of large circles of friends elsewhere. At Cornell College memorial services were held Sunday and appropriate resolutions, published herewith, were passed by the class of 1886, of which she was a member, and also by her literary society.
The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, March 2, and it was the largest funeral ever held in our town, very many being unable to obtain admission. The casket was of pure white, handsomely trimmed, and therein reposed, surrounded by flowers, all that was earthly of the much loved Belle, making a very beautiful though extremely sorrowful picture. The floral decorations were very handsome, consisting of a pillow with the initials L.B.L., this being sent by the Aesthesian Society of Cornell College, and also of a cross, wreath and anchor and a large bouquet. The services were conducted by Rev. Thornbrue, pastor of the Methodist Church, assisted by Rev. Avery of the Baptist Church. Rev. Thornbrue gave a brief address, and near the close a history of the religious convictions of the deceased showing most conclusively that the closing hours of physical suffering were moments of spiritual triumph. Following this discourse, Miss H.J. Cook, preceptress of Cornell College, read the resolutions passed at college and paid a beautiful and touching tribute to the deceased, whom she said had always been to her more like a sister than a pupil.
