GONE TO HER REST
On Tuesday last Mrs. L. H. Pratt died at her home, at Sherwood, from the effect of a cancer, from which she has long been a sufferer.
The funeral occurred on Wednesday at 2 oclock p.m. conducted by Rev. John Faville of the Congregational church of Appleton, and the earthly remains of one of the most widely known women of this section were mournfully laid to rest in the cemetery at Sherwood.
Louise Mansfield was born in Connecticut, fifty-two years ago and came to Sherwood with her parents when a child of seven years. She has lived in that vicinity until her death and through having but a good common school education, her rare natural ability, keen sarcasm and quaint humor combined to make her one of the noted newspaper writers of the State. She was an open foe to frauds and shams of any kind and keeping a close watch of public affair, she often buckled on her armor and put the enemy to shame in scathing articles to different journals of the state.
She was a regular correspondent of The Times for years and many of her articles are gens of wit and good common sense. She was blunt in her way and speech but a kinder or more generous hearted person that Louise Pratt never lived.
She leaves a family of two sons 20 and 24 years of age, and two daughters, 8 and 10 years of age to mourn the death of an indulgent mother.
