Postville Review, Fri., 21 Sept. 1900.

Mandy McWilliams was born November 26th, 1880, on a farm in the east part of Post township, and died in Postville, Sept. 11, 1900, aged 19 years, 10 months and 15 days.

About four years ago she was converted and united with the Congregational church of Postville.

Three years ago friends noticed a curvature of her spine. After suffering for 18 months the pain of this disease, consumption of the bone and spinal cord, caused her to suffer like Job of old and like him did not complain of her lot.

How many of us, after spending a little time in her sick room, after hearing her pleasant welcome and seeing how cheerful and uncomplaining she was, have started out resolving to find less fault with surroundings, only the judgement will reveal.
