Notes from Maple Grove:
Miss Winnie Driscoll(sic) is quite seriously ill.
Brillion News, Fri., Jan. 15, 1897
*********
Mrs. Winnie Driscoll died on Friday morning of last week. She had been ill for some time but, while her recovery was not expected it was hoped she would live for some time yet. The deceased was about twenty-three years of age and had lived all her life in Maple Grove. Her character was that of one "who lives for the good that she may do." Of a keenly sympathetic nature she intuitively discovered the feelings of her friends, rejoiced in their welfare and solaced their sorrow. There was no assumption in her smiles of gladness on hearing the good fortune of others, no affectation in the condolence and commiseration she extended to those in trouble. Without sacrificing a just estimate of her own worth, her humiliation was like a child's, she seemed to take as a rule of conduct Christ's words "Unless ye become as one of these, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.: Always unobstrusive, loving simplicity and abhorring false show, she never catered to the empty nothings of society. Her troubles, which exceeded those usually allotted to one so young, she bore with placid
fortitude, always hoping in the eternal recompense in which her trusting disposition put such implicit faith. She had an almost unerring sense of justice and when occasion required obeyed its dictates, when perhaps her own welfare demanded a different course. It is a worn out phrase to say "None knew but her but to love her" yet no other words seem to express the feelings of her many friends.
