Obituary

Della G. MURPHY was born May 29, 1891, and died May 26, 1915. Miss Della was a good girl and a great sufferer; consumption, that dreaded disease, fastened its cruel fangs upon her form and slowly ate her life away. She fought bravely the great battle of life, but all in vain. She believed in the Lord Jesus Christ but never attached herself to any organization, which was perhaps her greatest mistake; always optimistic she thought she would get better and then attend the church. Like a tree in springtime in full bloom, torn up by the storm and case (cast ?j.g. ) aside to perish and die, so this young life is torn from her home, leaving a vacant place in the home circle.

She leaves a father, two sisters and a brother to mourn her loss. She was born and reared on the old home farm southwest of Moscow Mills and spent all her life in this county. One sister and her mother preceeded her in death. Her funeral was preached by the writer to a large concourse of friends and neighbors; and to --------friends the bereaved ones f-------they owe a debt of graditude for their kindness in their deep sorrow. We laid her form away by the side of those loved ones, mother and sister, to await the resurrection morn. W. H. UTTER
