OBITUARY
Mrs. J. D. NILES died at her home in this city, Friday, November 3rd, shortly after the noon hour, death being due to paralysis. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church, Monday, at 3 o'clock p. m. by Rev. W. B. Leonard, pastor of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. C. D. Norman, pastor of the Methodist church, and the body was laid to rest in a vault at the Beaver cemetery.
About two years ago Mrs. NILES was stricken with paralysis and for several weeks her life hung in the balance but her strength was finally restored somewhat, although she never fully recovered, and she was able to be about her home the greater part of the time. Three weeks ago she suffered a severe nose-bleed which continued for several hours but she regained her strength from that and Friday morning was feeling as well as she had felt for many months and was about the house and out in the yard looking after little household duties when she was taken suddenly ill. She phoned her daughter, Mrs. A. G. THOMAS, who lived near by and who went to her at once. Shortly after Mrs. THOMAS' arrival, Mrs. NILES was stricken with paralysis from which she never rallied. The first stroke was followed by a second in about an hour. Death came a few hours later.
In the death of Mrs. NILES the community has lost one of its most highly esteemed and respected women. The highest tribute that may be paid to any women, may well be paid to her for her life was that of a noble, consecrated Christian woman, one whose heart and soul was true to that she knew to be right and who did not hesitate to make sacrifices and devote her time and strength to labors of love and service. Her quiet, refined, retiring nature coupled with her sincerity and consecration made her life an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact and no one ever knew her but to respect and love her gentle, motherly Christian character and were the better for having known her and the faithful life she lived.
Life will never be quite the same to those who were near and dearest to her. Her boys and girls will long for Mother and her loving counsel and advice in the years to come when life's burdens begin to fall heavily upon their shoulders and the husband will miss the wife's faithful companionship and help in meeting the trials of future life but, through it all, they have the blessed assurance that mother is free from care and harm and that she has only gone to the reward which she so richly deserved.
