IN MEMORY OF MRS. DORA POOL
MASHiUl
In the quiat hour of midnight.
Saturday, November the 15, the
Death Angel made its waya into
the home of Mr. Robert Lee Mar
shall and siezed his devoted wife
and beloved companion, Mrs. Dora
Pool Marshall, leaving to mourn
its call with much sorrowjand grief
the lonely husband and a host of
relatives and friends.
Many weeks, sometimes months,
o! discomfort and suffering mark
ing the last years of her life, had
been borae without complaint.Her
cheerful spirit braved the grasp of
illness with great forbearance and
fortitude in humble submission to
the will of her God whom she
trusted and served- Friends and
loved ones nearedher bed-side,that
they might heed any thought and
every desire to eomfort her. but
God in His wisdom saw fit to take
her to dwell with Him in yonder's
house not made with mortal hand
and now she dwells there while the
influence of a gentle life hovers
o'er those who knew her.
When but a girl she united with
Hickory Grove Methodist Church,
later with the other membership
of that church, moved her letter to
Elko, where she remained until
her death, loyal and active to and
for its cause which she chcrished
so much.
Our hearts are sad and we miss
her in this temporaay separation
and while we bow to the inevitable
wo realize our loss to be gain for
her, therefore be it resolved:
First?That in the death nf Mrs
Marshall, the Wemaas Missionary
Society of Elko suffers the great
less of one of its moat loyal mem
bers and officers;
Second ?That we hold her in
loving memory, regarding her life
as one of the treasnros of our so
ciety and her friendship, of which
?he had a lofty ideal, a great priv
ilegt;
Third?That we thank God for
tho consecrated Godly life aad
influence among as;
Fourth?That wo desire to ex
tend the bereaved husbaad oar
deepest and most profound heart
felt sympathy;
Fifth?That a eopy of those res
olutions be seat to Mr. Marshall,
a copy sent the Houston Homo
Journal for publication and a copy
be spread upou our minutes.

Greetings

our own welfare is a re
flection of theirs.
So, as a yeav of fulfill
ment merges into a year
of hope, we sent you our
warmest good wishes for
a Very Merry Christmas

The grouchy old man in front of us,
who growled at the street car system
and the universe in general.
Beside me Mt a woman with two
children?one a baby of three and the
?ther a lad of six; they were poorly
dressed.
The baby began to whimper and the
mother hastily soothed her, while the
greuch In front glowered at her.
"Talk to 111' sister," whispered the
mother. "Make her to be Interest."

"And ever one be happy?yes?be

the boy, as their mother rang the bell,
and hurried out carrying the baby
and her many bundles.
People exchnnged smiles, and tha
grouchy old man who was getting off,
too, turned to help her with the chil
