It was with deep regret that the hundreds of friends, indeed broadly speaking we may say the people of San Bernardino, learned of the death of that most estimable young lady, Miss Emma Garner, the treasured daughter of our esteemed townsman, Supervisor M. B. Garner. Born and raised in San Bernardino, bright, sweet, amiable and gentle, she was beloved by old and young. She was the idol of her own circle and a universal favorite in society generally. The joy of her parents and the treasure of the household, life was to her as sweet and enjoyable as love and devotion could make it. Her disposition was so affectionate that she met people only to attract and attach them. Hers was a beautiful nature. She delighted in amiability and was the pride and pet of those by whom she was surrounded. She was born in San Bernardino in 1869 and was about 19 years at the time of her death. She had been ailing about four years with spasmodic heart trouble, which became so serious that she had to withdraw from the Ellis college in Los Angeles which she was attending. All that love, devotion and medical skill could do, was done to save her fresh young life, but uselessly. She bore her sufferings with characteristic gentleness and patience and died in the full belief and glowing hope of the Christian. Our sincere sympathies go out to her afflicted parents and her sorrowing brothers and sisters. For herself, her suffering is over. Her suffering here is succeeded by felicity there - by the eternal happiness which surely is the heavenly reward of the gentle, the amiable, the good and the virtuous upon earth.
