Obituary

Died, at her home in West Owens, November 10th, Mrs. H. D. Wycoff, after a prolonged illness. Blanche Littler was born October 24, 1872, in Montgomery county, Kans; was married to H. D. Wycoff, February 10, 1891. To this union one son and three daughters were born, the youngest now but a year old. It is distressing, indeed, that a mother should be taken from her family while still in the prime of life, and we are at a loss to see the justice of it all. However, when we shall have crossed the Dark River we may be able to understand the mysteries of this life, and be gladdened by a reunion, made clear by the separation here. Sunday afternoon the remains were aid to rest in the beautiful River View cemetery, near the home she loved so well. The large number of friends that attended the funeral testified eloquently to the high esteem in which she was held and was also evidence of the sympathy felt for the bereaved husband and children.
