Miss Maria Walters
One of the most popular young ladies of Tooele passes away.
Though not entirely unexpected, it was a most sad and painful blow to the hosts of friends of Miss Maria Walters to hear of her untimely demise. She was highly respected and beloved by the community in which she has resided during her lifetime, and being taken to another sphere in the very prime of life is a reason for greater regret. Maria, as she was familiarly known, had a kind and generous disposition, and was gentle and lovable in her nature, but it seems that the mark of fate was placed upon her. She leaves grandparents and one brother, Samuel Walters, her mother and father both having died during her childhood. Miss Walters was born May 16, 1872, and died at 8:15 a.m. On Tuesday the 27th instant, being in the 23rd year of her age. The immediate cause of her death being heart disease, which was probably the sooner brought on by a complication of diseases from which she was a patient sufferer, first having lung trouble and then pneumonia.
Funeral services were held in the Tooele meeting house at 1 o'clock p.m. Thursday, and was very largely attended. A long procession of carriages followed the remains to their last resting place.
Apostle F.M. Lyman and President H. S. Gowans made appropriate and consoling remarks at the meeting house, and eulogized the young lady's many good traits of character. The young ladies had the meeting house beautifully decorated with flowers, and house plants of all kinds were neatly arranged around the hall and on the stand.
Miss Walters has gone to enjoy the society of father and mother, of whom she knew but little. May her soul rest with them in peace.
