St. Charles and Roundabout

A noble woman, an affectionate wife, a loving mother, a kind neighbor and true friend has been taken from us, and her presence is sadly missed. The W.R.C. of which she was a faithful and honored member, the Masonic lodge, to which her husband belongs and the entire community joined in paying proper respects to the remains of Mrs. R. D. Minard, who was followed by an imposing cortege and laid to rest by tender hands in our beautiful cemetery on last Friday. Mrs. Minard was a lady of superior attainments, of remarkable ability, of more than ordinary mental culture with a character unspotted and a disposition to assist all within her reach, and whose aim in life was to do good and dispense blessings, has passed away and an aching void is left. No family could receive more sympathy than is freely accorded them in their bereavement, and no one’s loss can be more deeply felt. A full obituary notice was published in last week’s St. Charles Reporter. Her age was near 62 years, her birth place, Coshocton county, Ohio. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, one daughter, (Mrs. A. J. Schultz, of Silver Creek, Nebraska) who was unable to respond to a telegram to come to her mother’s side on account of the dangerous illness of her own babe, and four sons, all of whom are among the best people in the communities in which they live. While her health was not of the best, yet her death was a complete shock to her nearest neighbors.

Note: Burial was made in the St. Charles cemetery.
