St. Charles

Mrs. Jessie Colton Roberts died Saturday evening about half past five, of tuberculosis. She leaves to mourn her loss a mother and three sisters and a brother, aside from a little babe about ten months old. She had been in poor health for some time but her demise was not expected so soon. Thus again we are reminded to watch for the son of man cometh in such a time as we think not.
