Mrs. L. P. Southard, an esteemed
Princeton pioneer, departed this life
at her home in north Princeton Sun-
day morning at 2 o'clock, after an ill-
ness of eight months, at the age of 78
years, two months and 26 days.
Funeral services were conducted at
the family residence Tuesday after-
noon at 2 o'clock, and numerous
friends and relatives attended to pay
a last tribute to the departed one. A
quartet composed of Mesdames C. A.
Caley and E. B. Service and Messrs.
Guy Ewing and Grover Umbehocker
sang appropriate selections, being ac-
companied on the organ by Miss Eileen
Walker, and Rev. and Mrs. Service
gave a vocal duet. Interment was
in Oak Knoll cemetery, and the re-
mains were laid at rest beside those
of her husband and a son.
All of the children attended the final
services except Charles, Fred and E. L.
Charles and E. L. reside in Washington,
and Fred is a resident of Maine.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Almeana Bickford, was born in Bel-
grade, Somerset county, Maine, on
December 30, 1837. She grew to
womanhood in Maine, and on January
1, 1854, was united in marriage to Mr.
Daniel Spaulding. To this union were
born three children, all of whom are
living, viz.: Charles H., Fred R., and
Daniel W.. Mr. Spaulding answered
the final summons several years ago,
and on March 8, 1865, the subject of
this sketch became the wife of the
late L. P. Southard. Five children—
Mrs. Mina Bickford, E. L., I. R., Mrs.
O. B. Newton and Alvah—blessed this
union. In the fall of 1879 Mrs.
Southard accompanied her husband
and family to Minnesota, and re-
sided in Minneapolis one year. Since
that time Princeton has been her home.
Mrs. Southard was a good Christian
lady, and possessed qualities that
won her the love and esteem of a
large circle of friends. She was of a
home-loving disposition, and as a
neighbor and friend was all that
could be desired.
Besides the children she leaves many
grandchildren and great grandchildren
to mourn her passing.
The children and grandchildren desire
to express their sincere and heartfelt
thanks to those who so kindly assisted
them during the last illness
and death of their beloved mother.
Dearest mother thou hast left us
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that has bereft us—
He can all our sorrow heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled,
When in Heaven with joy we greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
