Obituary will appear next week. (11 Feb 1897)-MABEL LOUISE KEELER.
AUGUST 17TH, 1882. - FEBUARY 7TH., 1897.
Between these dates, a period of 14 years, 5 months and 21 days, short as the time appears, it is the history of a life.
MABEL LOUISE KEELER,
youngest daughter of Edward A. KEELER and Emma L. E. KEELER, was born in Marshall, Mich., Aug. 17th., 1882, and died at her parent's home in Grayling, Mich., Feb. 7th., 1897.
Mabel was a lovely girl, the pride of her parents and a favorite in the circle of her young associates, and loved by her acquaintances. She possessed a cheerful disposition, making her the light of her home; an intelligent mind, giving promise in the acquirement of knowledge and a useful life. She was a student in the Grayling High School, a member of the class of '99, and a lover of music, an art in which she showed marked ability.
Nature had favored her with a pleasant and beautiful face, and one which until recently bore the apparent rosy flush of health. No one seeing her then would have thought that in so short a time, the rosy cheeks would be paled, the bright eyes dimmed and the cheerful voice stilled in death.
She was taken sick last Fall, with what her friends thought, and the attending physician believed would be only a temporary ailment, but as the days went by her symptoms grew more alarming and the evidence of lung trouble was manifest. Her parents took her to Bay City and consulted leading physicians and specialists, there and elsewhere, but only to be told that the dread destroyer, Consumption, had fastened upon their loved one. Everything was done that willing hands and loving hearts, or physicians' skill could do to stay the disease. But "Death loves a shining mark." Her strength gradually failed and on Sunday morning at five o'clock, in the arms of her father, she said, "I am dying," entered "The valley of the shadow of Death." But it was only a shadow, though it cast a gloom over the hearts of her friends, with her it was light.
She had realized her critical condition, and repeatedly assured her pastor and her friends that she was not afraid to die. She loved her Saviour, and knew he would welcome her to her home in Heaven. She was a member of the Jun. Epworth League and of the Sunday School, and until prevented by her illness, a punctual attendant. Her funeral services, at the M. E. church, were conducted by the writer, assisted by the pastor of the Presbyterian church, and were attended by a large number of friends and acquaintances. The interment was at Marshall.
She leaves a father, mother and sister, Mrs. Edna KEELER VAN DUSEN, "Who sorrow, but not as those with-out hope."
"She is not dead, the child of their affection,
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs their protection,
And Christ himself shail rule.In that great cloisters' stillness and seclusion,
By guardian angels led.
Safe from temptation, and from sins' pollution
She lives whom we call dead.
R. L. COPE. (18 Feb 1897)
