OBITUARY.
The people of Ossian and vicinity were greatly shocked at the intelligence of the death of Miss Carrie E. Jones, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jones, at the home of her parents near Ossian, on Jan. 25th, 1896, in her 30th year. The funeral services, on Jan. 28th, were conducted by Rev. A. G. Wilson, of Unity church, Decorah, at the Ossian M. E. church, the burial taking place in the Ossian cemetery. A lengthy-funeral procession furnished a fitting testimonial of the worth of deceased in the community in which she lived. Rev. Wilson in the course of his very appropriate and instructive discourse expressed himself as a stranger to the deceased and principal mourners, but he may rest assured that his words left no sting, but, on the contrary, were such as to comfort, elevate and instruct the saddened hearts.
Deceased came to her death from exhaustion following a surgical operation. Her case was of such a nature as to cause her many months of suffering of mind and body—so ns to bring gray hairs and careworn faces to her broken hearted parents, and fill with grave apprensions{sic} her relatives and friends,
Carrie E Jones was born Dec. 15th, 1866, in Winnesheik Co., Iowa, and has passed her entire life in the same community, and under the parental roof. She leaves parents and three brothers to mourn her loss. The writer has stood by her cradle, watched her through infancy, and has seen her pass safely over the dangerous quicksands besetting girlhood, and stand at lust in the full noon of womanhood—a model of purity of thought and action. A full fruition of the example and conduct of this occupant of a rural home would result in the proper solution of the temperance question and banish all vulgarity and all obscenity from the world.
While realizing the greet loss sustained in her death, we should strive to garner the lessons of her life.
