Again the angel of death has visited the home of our sister, Rhoda EVERETT and taken from her a mother. Therefore be it
RESOLVED-That we as a committee appointed adopt the following resolutions in behalf of the members of the Womens Relief Corps No. 162. We tender to our sister love and sympathy in her lonely hours of her sorrow. God's finger touched her loved one suddenly and she slept. He has led our sister into darkness, but he has not left her to walk alone, and be it further resolved that we show our loving spirit and tender thoughts one for another in our loved order. That place is vacant, but we feel assured that she has thus been called by our Heavenly Father to that sweet peace and rest promised to those that love him, and be it further resolved a copy of these resolutions be sent our bereaved sister and also our local paper for publication.
