MRS. CHARLES HISEL DIED SATURDAY.

A sad duty and one that is most painful is that of writing the obiuary (sic) of such a dear good patient woman as Mrs. Chas. HISEL, although she never had enjoyed very good health, having a frail constitution, yet she was always hopeful and had fought back the encircling shadow and she so eloquently respended in silent token to the hopes of those who watched with her.

The end when it came was very peaceful and so unexpected. On Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, she closed her eyes on earthly earthly (sic) scenes, and passed to that "Better Land" that we all hope for in the future.

Dot SCOTT-HISEL was born near Salem 35 years ago. Her mother was again married to C. F. WATSON when Dot was nine years of age. Mr. WATSON gave her a fathers loving care,. Her mother died after a very short illness, leaving Dot alone in the world.

On Sept 27, 1893 she was united in marriage to Charles HISEL and they lived a happy married life, she being the ideal of his heart and never were two people better suited or happier until that cruel reaper 'Death' stepped in and shattered their hopes.

About six years ago Dot had a severe attack of the measles. She has been quite poorly all summer but never bedfast., she was planning a trip to Colorado for her health and her husband had just returned from the west whither he had been to secure a location and they had expected to star immediately (sic). But alas their hopes were blighted. A doctor was summoned last Thursday evening and she passed away Sunday afternoon.

All that could be done to cheat death was done, but it was not to be. She leaves a heart broken husband and little son, Leonard aged ten years. Earth and life never looked more dark and desolate to these dear ones as when they surround the casket containing all that is earthly of a loved wife and mother, but they have the blessed assurance that she is at rest. Her final illness being termed lung fever.

Mrs. HISEL was one of the most refined and estimable women, retiring and delicate in her manner. In the home circle and among her intimate friends the beauty and charm of her life were best known. She was a devoted Christian. It is the quiet influence and force of such noble women as Dot that elevates communities. While they live all humanity are better for their living. As far as human sympathy goes the friends have it in abundance.

The funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2-30 o'clock at the Methodist church in Fairfield Rev. C. L. Tennant will conduct the services.

"God's ways are not our ways, believe thou in him.
Watch, work and pray though eyelids grow dim

With tears half expressed as we gaze on the mound
That covers the form neath that hallowed ground.

"Weep not, dear friends, our dear one is at rest
Beyond the blue sky she's happy and blest

And only waits there the loved ones to greet
As they enter the gates on swift winged feet.
