SUDDEN DEATH
The news of the sudden and unexpected death at Salt Lake City of Mrs. Orson C. Holbrook came over the wire Thursday as a shock barbed with pain and sorrow. At the time of her demise, she was visiting with her daughter, Mrs. A.N. Hanson in Salt Lake City, and appeared to be in her usual health, when suddenly her heart stopped, and death came without warning. The remains were brought to her home in Fillmore and on Sunday in the LDS Chapel, funeral services were held conducted by Bishop P.L. Brunson. Songs were touchingly rendered by the Ward Choir. The flowers were many and beautiful, but no more beautiful than the face that rested so peacefully among them. The speakers were R.W. King, J.V. Robison and Joshua Greenwood and the services throughout were very impressive. The deceased, Mary Virginia Ray Holbrook, was born April 11, 1846 in Carrold County, State of Mississippi, and shortly after her birth, the family moved to Texas, where her parents, Mr.and Mrs. John A. Ray became converts to the Mormon faith and came to Utah in 1852 and made their home in Fillmore, where Virginia's home has been ever since. She was married to Orson C. Holbrook 1862, and became the mother of seven children, three of which have preceded her to the great beyond. She is survived by her husband and four children Orson H., Frank J., Mrs. Daisy Holbrook Hanson and Miss Florence Holbrook; and a number of grandchildren; also her brother Joseph E. Ray and her sisters Mrs. Ellen E. Mathiny, Mrs. Martha J. Thorpe, Mrs. Jerome Pratt and Mrs. Melissa Smith. Her life was gentle and quiet, but like the still waters it was deep. In her heart she carried those she loved and those who were nearest to her will long for her with unutterable longings, long for mothers council and advice, and a wife's gentle and loving sympathy.
