In memoriam of Mrs George Carper, who died Aug. 2, 1902, at 2 o'clock p.m.
Elizabeth E. Wise was born April 9th, 1843, at New Petersburg, Ohio. She was married to George W. Carper Sept. 14, 1865 at place of birth. Four children were born to this union, all of whom are living except one little girl, Lillie, who died in infancy,—Walter, who now resides in St Joseph. Mo, Newton, at Boise, Idaho, and Eva, at home. She leaves a husband, three children, two grand children, two sisters and one brother, besides many friends to mourn her death. One grandson, Lloyd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Carper, preceded her a little over one year ago to the heavenly home and was waiting to welcome his grandma. Mrs. Carper united with the Presbyterian church at the age of twenty-four and has since lived a consistent christian life. In her home she was a kind wife and loving mother. In social life she was strong, and it can be truly said that everyone who knew her was her friend. For over a year she had suffered from that dreadful disease cancer of the stomach, and about three weeks ago her physicians told her she could not live. Trusting in her savior, she was able to say. "Thy will be done," and when at last she was summoned to go, she was willing and anxious to go, she said, and live with Jesus.
The funeral was held at the home Sabbath day at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Pruitt of Shambaugh. She had chosen as the text, I Cor 2-9: "But as it is written, eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him,"
The floral offerings were the choicest and lovliest that nature could bring. She had chosen for her paulbearers, Messrs. N W Cline, F M Vaeaman, M V Thompson, Wm Hakes, John Hatfield and Henry Fulk. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of all who know them, in the sad bereavement. We realize how insufficient human sympathy is when we think of their loss, of the vacant chair in the home and the voice they will never hear again as they sit around the family circle. In this time of sorrow we can only point them to the divide one. who will enable us to find consolation in the hope we have that if we take her example as our guide we will meet her in the happy home, which will be one unbroken family around the throne of God. In the midst of life death claimed her. and in the triumph of a living faith she passed from earth with its labors to heaven and its reward, only to shine a brighter iight on the other shore. Amidst many sympathizing friends the last tender words were spoken and sung and Mrs. Carper was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery by the side of her little grandson Lloyd. "Call not back the dear departed,"
Anchored safe where storms are o'er: On the border land where we left here,
Soon to meet to part no more. Far beyond this world of changes,
Far beyond this world of care; We shall find our missing loved one
In our Father's mansion fair.
