The Angel of Death has entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson M. Cash and carried away to the heavenly homeland their infant daughter, Alice Lillian. In their deep bereavement may peace be breathed into their sorrowing hearts, for the same hand that chastened will restore their loved one in a land where we meet to part no more.

OPHELIA FINCH MEDBERY

Mrs. Medbery Dead
Well Known Resident of Huron Died Monday From Paralysis

At about 11”00 o’clock Monday morning Mrs. William C. Medbery passed away at her home in this city from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. This stroke of paralysis came Saturday last and was the second she had had, the first falling upon her when she and Mr. Medbery were visiting in Montana last fall. At that time it was necessary for them to give up their trip and return to this city, and since then the deceased has not been in the best of health.
Ophelia C. Finch* was born in Allegheny, Pa., on June 9, 1843, and lived there until her marriage on Sept. 25, 1863 to William C. Medbery. Mr. and Mrs. Medbery took up their residence on a farm near Cavour in 1881, where they made their home till 1899 when they moved to this city, where they have since resided. One son, Don G. Medbery, and her husband survive her.
The many friends of the deceased extend their heartfelt sympathy to the husband and son at this time. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the home at 2:00 o’clock. Rev. J. P. Anderson conducting the services.

[Dysart (Iowa) Reporter.]
Early Sunday morning, May 17th, Miss Abbie Turner quietly passed away to “that bourne from whence no traveler returns.”
Deceased was 19 years of age, the daughter of Charles S. and Alice A. Turner, of Huron, Dakota. She had suffered for the past eight months from a complication of diseases, and during that time has been administered to by a number of physicians. For the past four months she has been in Dysart, at the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Turner, and everything possible has been done for her relief. Her parents and friends were with her during the latter part of her sickness and at her death-bed.
The funeral on Monday afternoon, at the M.E. church was largely attended. The sermon, by Rev. W.F. Pitner, was well applied. The remains were interred in the Dysart cemetery. Among the mourners were a number of relatives and friends from Mechanicsville, Iowa.
The parents of the deceased have the condolence of the entire community. It seems hard to part with our children and friends in the bloom of youth, and no matter how long the preparations and protracted the suffering, it is a sudden sorrow to feel that they are gone forever.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner will remain here but a short time, and will return to Dakota next wee, whither our people will follow them with sympathy and regard.
