Died, at her home, October 23, 1896, Mrs. Dora Silverthorne, wife of Mr. Phillip Silverthorne, aged 43 years. The remains were interred in the Hill of Zion cemetery. Rev. Woodward, of Orient, preached the funeral. A large crowd followed the remains to the last resting place. She was the mother of five children, who are left to mourn her loss, besides her husband, mother, sisters and brothers. Mrs. Silverthorne was a member of the church, and a good worker until her health gave way and she was bedfast, but was willing to go and meet her Savior, for he says: “Come unto Me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” The mourners have the sympathy of a large number of friends.
