Obituary.
Mrs. Hattie Gilruth Zimmerman, wife of A.J. Zimmerman departed this life at her home near Jamestown, Kansas, Sept. 28th, 1896.
Mrs. Zimmerman belonged to a very prominent and well known family; she was the granddaughter of the Rev. James Gilruth, a noted Methodist pioneer preacher of the Ohio conference, and the niece of Rev. Dr. A.J. Kynette, Secretary of the M.E. church Extension Society.
She was a woman of unusual grace and refinement of manner, a great lover of the higher works of literature and music. She was at all times the kind courteous lady one loves to meet. She became a member of the Esther Rebekah Lodge of Jamestown two years ago in July, and has always been held high in esteem by its members, always performing her part of the work in an earnest consciencious manner.
In her earlier years she was a member of the M.E. church and a regular attendant, although in later years she could not attend the public services regularly, she often regretted that she could not. Those who knew her best testify that her home life was that of a true Christian wife and mother. She took great pains in the instruction of her children led them daily to the throne of grace, and taught them to pray.
Her death was rather sudden and unexpected, similar to that of the beloved Rachel, (Genesis 35; 16-18).
The funeral services in charge of the members of the order to which she belonged was attended by many sympathizing friends. In the Fairview cemetery, a spot most beautiful situated, covered with flowers and grasses of nature's own planting, we laid her to rest until the voice of the archangel shall awake the dead.
One sad feature of the funeral was the presence of the bereaved mother and brother, who had come to visit the family only a few days before. Scarcely had they time to enjoy a good conversation, until the grim destroyer ruthlessly entered and tore down their loved one from their embrace.
May the Lord protect and guide the helpless motherless ones and comfort the hearts of the bereaved husband, mother and brother, and all hearts that have been made sad by this untimely death.
