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.
