Falling Leaves
The leaves all fade and wither in the winter while many fall in early summer and their short lives comes to a sudden end.
So it is in human life but it seems hard for a young mother to be snatched away from a loving husband and a young family—a young babe from its mother’s breast and laid away in the cold earth.
But God in His providence moves in mysterious ways and His ways are past finding out.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, May 19, 1891, all that was earthly of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Peck of Northboro passed away.
She was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKie of Blanchard. She was born May 22, 1860 and was within three days of her 31st birthday.
She was married April 22, 1882, to Robert E. Peck of Northboro. She leaves a young family of four children, the oldest six years while the youngest is a babe but a few days old. She became a professor of religion in early life and joined the United Presbyterian Church.
Moving out to Kansas, where there was no organization of that body, she joined the Methodists, in which church she was an active member until her death. She was an earnest Christian woman and one that will be missed not only by her devoted husband and little family but by a large circle of relatives and friends.
The funeral services were conducted by their pastor, Rev. Conrey, of the M. E. church at Northboro, assisted by Rev. Hood, pastor of the U. P. church at Page Center and Blanchard and her remains interred in the cemetery at Northboro. A large number of friends and relatives were present to pay their respects to one so loved and respected. But no human attention can call back that young mother to her little family. Just when they were in need of a mother’s loving care and attention, she was called away from them. May the just God who doeth all things well guide and direct these little motherless children, comfort and uphold the stricken husband and relatives and bring us all to feel the uncertainty of life and to put our trust upon Him who has said He would never forsake those that put their trust in Him.
