DEATH CLAIMS RUTH CASTOR
***
PEACEFULLY FALLS TO SLEEP AT 8:35 O'CLOCK LAST THURSDAY EVENING
The remains of Ruth Castor were laid to rest in our local cemetery Sunday afternoon, after an impressive funeral service held at the Methodist Church. The crowd that gathered to look upon her face for the last time more than filled the house, thus paying to the deceased a last fitting tribute of love and respect.
But a few people so young can claim as strong a hold upon the public affect as did Ruth. Her sweet smile and good manners, her industry and fairness endeared her to all with whom she came in contact.
Ruth was born in Marshall, July 14, 1902 and wood would have been fourteen years of age. She contracted pneumonia ten days before she died and from the first she was very bad being delirious most of the time. She showed remarkable vitality, but her strength was gradually beaten down until the end came. There would occasionally be a slight rally just long enough to renew hope in the hearts of her friends but the relapse would drift her a little farther into the deep.
And thus her life went out at the close of a beautiful day. With friends kneeling by her bed vainly longing for a last look of recognition of a farewell word, she fell asleep without granting their wish. Sweet and beautiful in life, she was sweet and beautiful in death.
Ruth was converted during the ____ meeting last fall, was baptized and united with the Methodist church. She was one of the girls of her own age comprising the Charity Class in the Sunday school.
Floral offerings came from her parents, from the church, her Sunday school, the Embroidery Club, the W.C.T.U., her schoolmates and teacher, and from individuals. Her casket was banked with the choicest of flowers.
Ruth leaves her parents, two brothers and a great host of friends. She will be greatly missed, but she is happy in a better world.
Chester Castor, brother of the deceased, came from Edmonton, Canada and Mrs Besse, aunt, came from Carthage, Missouri to attend the funeral.
