OBITUARY.

Sabina Jemime daughter of Jacob Peterson, living two miles and a half north-west of Slater, died April 3rd, 1891. Sabina was born Dec. 8, 1871, aged 19 years, 3 months and 23 days.

Sabina lived and died happy in her Savior, at the hour of her death she wished her favorite Hymn to be sang to her "Let us go singing." Funeral took place Sunday, April 5th at 11 o'clock a. m. from her home. Rev. Mr. Weckstrom from Madrid, spoke very earnestly an touchingly toa crowded house of sympathizing and mourning relatives and friends, after which the mortal remains of their youngest daughter was carried out of door never more to enter. Her remains was taken to the Mission Church at Madrid where quite a number awaited the procession, and after a short service there the remains were laid to rest beside three of the family gone before and buried at Hopkins Cemetery.* She now awaits the coming of her parents, two brothers and one sister to meet her where no parting is any more.

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Sabina J. Peterson was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, Madrid, Boone County, Iowa. She was the daughter of Jacob Peterson and Christena M. Winnerstrand.
