Died.
KEACH - At the home of her father, A. H. Aldrich, Livermore, Colorado, on Friday, June 19, 1896, Mrs. Millie O. Keach, aged 21 years, 2 months and 15 days.
Mrs. Keach was born in 1875 at Preble, Wisconsin. During the past thirteen years her parents have resided the most of the time in Livermore, consequently she passed from childhood to womanhood in this place.
She had a bright, loving disposition and was the sunshine of her home. "None knew her but to love her," for her life was so blameless and pure that not one could censure her.
She attracted hosts of friends and will be missed and mourned by all. It is hard to part with one so young and who was so universally loved and respected, and one who was just at the dawn of womanhood, but an All-Wise Creator knoweth best. On the 7th of October, 1895, she was married to Elmer Keach of Alford, by Rev. Franklin Moore of Fort Collins. On the morning of the 17th of June she was taken sick and every effort was made to save her, but after a brief illness of only a little more than two days she passed peacefully away to a brighter and better world. The news of her death was a great shock to this entire community.
Loving relatives and friends cared for her during her sickness and did all things possible to lighten the sorrow of her bereaved husband, parents, sisters and brother. The funeral services were held at the residence of her parents at 10 a.m. on Sunday and Rev. Moore, the same minister who officiated at her marriage last October, took charge of the last sad rites.
The casket in which she rested was one mass of flowers and her shroud was her wedding dress. A long procession of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the remains to the grave which was literally covered with flowers.
She was a good wife, a devoted daughter and loving sister, and her death is deeply lamented. She is not lost, but only gone before, and may she rest in peace is the wish of all who knew and loved her.
LINES TO OUR DEAR SISTER, MILLIE O KEACH.
Darling sister, the days are long
Since your spirit has passed away;
The vacant chair and the hushed voice
Are breaking our hearts today.
The day is not far distant
When we shall see and speak
To you, our sweet one, in heaven,
And tell you our untold grief.
When God in his infinite mercy,
Called our darling to heaven away,
We could only whisper, "Thy will be done,"
And with sorrow and meekness pray
That we might meet you, our dearest,
In your robes of purest white,
When we cross to the shore of that better land
Where all is pure and bright.
Darling, we would not bring you back,
For our loss is only your gain;
But we'll strive to meet you in heaven,
Where God and the angels reign.
-Mrs. Wm. Batterson
-Mrs. A. N. Aldrich
