DEATH'S DOINGS
The sad news of the death of Mrs. Jennie Huffman Pennington was flashed Sunday from Peabody, Kansas, where she died at 4 A. M. of a complication of diseases, pneumonia being the principal. Last Summer she went with her little daughter, Mary, to spend a while with her relatives, Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Huffman, who made her stay so pleasant that she remained with them since and up to a few weeks ago her letters were so cheerful and full of hope that none of her relatives were prepared for the news of her dangerous illness or of the sudden ending of her young life. Her little girl had been sick and three weeks of nursing at the time she was not very stout aggravated her condition and added other diseases to sap her vitals. Of course, with the uncle and aunt, who loved her dearly, everything was done for her that possibly could have been, but her brothers and sisters here are inexpressibly grieved that they were not able to minister to her and be present when her spirit crossed the dark river. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and recent letters from her show that the teachings of her sainted mother had rooted and grown to the perfect flower. As soon as possible after receipt of the first telegram her brother, Mr. A. G. Huffman, left for her bedside, but delays of trains from floods and other causes prevented him from reaching there till more than 24 hours after her death. The remains will be brought here and buried from the residence of her sister, Mrs. W. P. Walton, due notice of which will be given. When Jennie left full of life and health no one dreamed that she would so soon be brought back as a corpse. But death stalks abroad in the land and hourly reminds us of the uncertainty of all earthly plans and hopes and warns us to prepare for the summons that must sooner or later come to us all. May the Scriptural assurance that He doeth all things well and the trust that their loss is her eternal gain console her weeping sisters and brothers in this dark hour of grief.

The remains of Mrs. Jennie Pennington in charge of her brother, A. G. Huffman, arrived Tuesday night and were buried the next afternoon in the blinding snowstorm, after a short service at her sister's, Mrs. W. P. Walton, by Rev. Ben Helm. The family are consoled with the knowledge that death did not come like a thief at night to their loved one, but fully aware of her condition, she sent loving messages to them and asked that her sister, Mrs. Martha Paxton, should take her little daughter. No fears of the great hereafter disturbed her for she said she was prepared to meet it, and only wished to live for the sake of her child. Her relatives and the people of Peabody generally, did everything in their power for her, ministering to her day and night, leaving nothing undone to help make her "dying bed feel soft as downy pillows are." The family are deeply and truly grateful to all of them, as well as to her physicians who labored unceasingly for her. May God bless them all both here and hereafter is the prayer of appreciative and loving hearts.
