Death of Mrs. Washburn. Mrs. Eliza Emily Washburn, wife of N.B. Washburn, died at her home in Shelburn Thursday, February 9, 1899, age 49 years and eight days. Deceased leaves a broken hearted husband, two sons and four daughters and a host of friends to mourn her death, by which they have been compelled to yield to God a loving mother, true friend and kind neighbor. The children who are motherless are Mrs. A. P. Hirons, of Shelburn, Mrs. R. W. Swink, of Parker, Jennie, Emma, George and James Washburn. The death of Mrs. Washburn was a particularly sad one, and came so suddenly that it was with difficulty that its truthfulness could be realized. A short time ago she was taken ill with measles, and when about recovered the malady turned to brain fever, and although medical aid was constantly at hand nothing could be done to remove the certainty of the result. The funeral services were held at one o'clock today, Friday, at Miller cemetery.
