The Peculiarly Sad Death of Mrs. F. B. Bearce.

The old adage that "Death is no respecter of persons" was never more strikingly illustrated than when the dread destroyer entered the happy home of Mr. Frank B. Bearce and took the young wife and mother. Mrs. Bearce had not rallied since the birth of her child, Saturday, Nov. 24th, and since last Sunday morning beame seriously low, Monday night her spirit took its flight to the presence of its Creator. Mrs. Bearce was born in Plymouth, Mass., in 1863 and lived there until her marriage two years ago. She came to Kansas after her marriage with her husband and has been prominent in church and social circles ever since. Her work as an attendant of the Lutheran church has marked her as a truly christian woman. Her married life has been peculiarly happy and the blow of her death falls with crushing force upon the husband who has the heartiest of sympathy in his bereavement. Mrs. B. was a sister of L. H. Faulkner, of this city, and has one sister, Mrs. C. H. Amsden, Fremont, Ohio, who was here one year ago and will be present at the funeral. The wide circle of friends of the deceased feel keenly their loss and will miss sorely the gentle presence of the departed. Indeed, "Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O, Death!"

The babe left is doing nicely and, though motherless, seems in the best of health. The funeral services were held at the Lutheran church Thursday morning at 10 a. m., Rev. F. M. Porch officiating. The procession, which was a long one. included the Shaubenee Tribe of Red Men, of which Mr. Bearce is a respected member. The business houses of town were closed during the ceremonies. The form of the loved one was laid away to its last sleep in the Abilene cemetery. (Abilene Reflector, Dec. 6, 1888)
