Death of Mrs. J.W. Wallace.

A dark gloom spread over our city Wednesday night when the sad news of the death of Mrs. J.W. Wallace became known. She had been in bad health for several months but her condition was not considered so serious until a few days before her death.

Death came peacefully Wednesday night, June 14, 1911. Her sister, Miss Eva Ward of Kansas City, was with her at her death.

Funeral services were held Thursday, June 15, 1911, at 3 p.m. from the Methodist church by Rev. B.W. Dodson. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to Fairview cemetery where they were gently laid to rest by tender loving hands in our silent city of the dead.

Mrs. Wallace was an every day christian. The beautifying influences of a pure religion were spread over a life and character as spotless and charming as was ever possessed. As such a life was a blessing and benefaction to all within the sphere of its influence, so is the death of such a one a public misfortune as well as an irreparable loss to the home circle made desolate by her departure.

No one was more willing to aid the suffering, cheer the desponding [sic], rnd [sic] throw over the frailties of our race the Mantle of Christian charity, and when sickness and death come to her, as it comes to all, neighbors and friends joind [sic] with each other in acts of loving kindness and tender solicitude, but love and skill were equally of no avail. The great destroyer had placed his signet on her brow and today, hundreds who loved her living, mourn her dead, and as such, the Democrat begs to join this great throng of friends in expressions of deepest sympathy to the heart broken husband and children left behind to mourn her sad loss.
