- Died - In Milton, Wis., Feb. 17th,
1888, of consumption, Mrs. A. Pauline
- (BURDICK) PLACE, aged
26 years and 9 months.
- Lena, as she was familiarly called,
was well known in this community. She was
- graduated in the Teacher's Course of
Milton College in 1882, and taught at Menominie, Albion and Milton
until last spring when failing health compelled her retirement.
December 8th, 1887, she was married to T. Irwin PLACE
of Milton, but began rapidly to decline. Her funeral was held
Sunday, Feb. 19th at the S.D.B. Church, Rev. E. M. Dunn preaching
the sermon on the "Ministrations of Sorrow," assisted
by Pres. Whitford and Rev. James Bailey. The song service was
peculiarly touching, and the floral offerings, made by the young
ladies of her acquaintance were very beautiful and appropriate.
- Thus died in early years one about
whom fond affections were entwined; but her
- friends do not mourn without hope,
for she early gave her heart to the Savior and died trusting
in him.
- "Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord." [Thursday edition, p. 3]
