OVER DEATH'S RIVER
FAR FROM HOME, MISS LILLIE QUINN BREATHES HER LAST
About a month ago Miss Lillie M. Quinn arrived here from California where she went early in the spring, hoping to gain relief from that terrible scourge, consumption. She had been but little benefited and not feeling able to continue her journey to her home, Bloomington, Illinois, she with her sister who accompanied her, stopped off in Abilene where they remained until today with a married sister. Mrs. W. F. Blanded, on West Fifth Street.
The deceased was a fine natured, cultured young lady, 22 years of age, just blossoming into the wealth of womanhood. It seems almost cruel to have such snatched from us, when they might do so much for the world and for themselves.
Short funeral services were held today at the house , Dr. J. L. McKeehan officiating, and at noon the remains, carefully embalmed, were placed on the east bound train and accompanied by G. W. Quinn, a brother, who arrived from Bloomington Saturday evening to be at the bedside of his dying sister, and Miss Quinn, the sister who has been with the deceased during her illness, were started on their long journey to Bloomington where the interment will be made.
The sorrowing group at the depot enlisted the sympathies of all. The bereaved sister int his city will have the condolence of all who know of the sad death of her young relative.
