Mrs. Mary Fehring died at her home in Adobetown two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 6, after an illness of four months. Death was due to tumor of the stomach. During her last illness she suffered much pain but bore it cheerfully to the end. She was attended by her son, Dr. William B. Fehring of Chicago, and Dr. E. I. Bradley of this city. She was also given the skillful and kind ministrations of a trained nurse. Everything possible that loving hands could do to ease her suffering was done.

The funeral was held this afternoon from the pretty and large residence of the deceased. The services were conducted by the Rev. Charles Quinney, assisted by his choir. The mortal remains were buried in the Nevada cemetery by the side of her husband.

Mrs. Mary Fehring, whose maiden name was Mary Meyer, was born near Hanover, Germany, 59 years ago. When a young girl she came to America with her parents, who settled at Galena, Ill. Here she grew to womanhood and was married to the late John Bernhardt Fehring on Feb. 15, 1873. The happy couple, after a few weeks' honeymoon spent among friends and relatives, crossed the plains to Alder gulch and settled down at Adobetown, where they spent the rest of their lives. Mr. Fehring first arrived in Alder gulch in 1864 and was among the early placer miners who staid by the gulch. It is a strange thing that Mrs. Fehring should pass away just eight days before the 34th anniversary of her marriage.

Mrs. Mary Fehring will be mourned by a large circle of friends. She was a woman noted for her kindly deeds of charity. Many a home on Christmas was made brighter and happier on account of some gift from Mrs. Fehring. She was the best of neighbors and was never appealed to for assistance in vain. She possessed a most cheerful disposition and her home was always open to the young and old. She loved company and the young people of her neighborhood always consulted her before giving a party or entertainment. She was loved and respected by all who knew her. She was a good wife and one of the best of mothers and to be that is to reach the goal of ideal womanhood. Today many a heart aches because of her departure to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. She leaves two children, William B. Fehring, a young and prominent physician and surgeon of Chicago, Elsie (Mrs. James Garrison), and three grandchildren to mourn her taking away. To her bereaved relatives this community extends sincere sympathy.
