Gone to Rest.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Pernitzke, departed this life at her late home in Utica, November 11, 1892, aged 39, 3 months and 11 days. She leaves a husband, father, three children, seven sisters, and numerous other relatives to mourn the loss of a dear one who has gone before to that land of the blessed. She was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and her amiable disposition endeared her to all who knew her. She had been a sufferer for several years from several paralytic strokes and heart disease, but the last stroke relieved her from all pain, and she had the appearance of resting in peaceful slumber.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. Breeden, Sunday, in the Utica M. E. church, and a large congregation was present to pay their last tribute of respect, and her remains were laid to rest in the Dibble cemetery. The floral tributes were handsome.
