Stothere: " Last Tuesday afternoon at half -past one the grim reaper entered the home of Mr. Benj. Gimmel and said to the tired and suffering daughter, 'I will give thee rest,' and carried her spirit away from its earthly tenement, to the grevious Borrow of the remaining loved ones. For many days the frail life had hung in the balance and only for the constant and loving administra- tions of those about her she would not hate been spared so long. Edna Epplett has been a patient sufferer since January and of tato she has suffered exceedingly from that dread dieease consumption. A wave of sorrow passed over the com- munity when the message went out that Edna had answered the final roll call and was no snore. She will be miss- ed by her many friends because of her quiet and loving disposition. To know her was to love her. A chair is vacant in the home and the father, mother, brothers and sisters will sadly miss the cheerful smile and pleasant ways of the absent one. Miss Edna was born in 'I'eeswater on March 12th, 1888, and came to Cass City about six years ago. 1n late years she had been employed as milliner and dressmaker in town and had won a host of friends. The funeral services were held yesterday at the Presbyterian church, of which she was a member, Rev. R. Weaver officiating, and tate remains laid to rent in Elkland cemetery."
