Show Obituary. Rands. The funeral of the late Mrs. George Rands was held on Sunday afternoon from the residence of her mother, Mrs. Williams. The sympathy of hundreds is extended to the bereaved husband and relatives. The deceased was a j most lovable girl and, as pretty Maude Williams, made hosts of friends. She attended St. Mary's academy for j many years, and was a talented mu-l mu-l sician. While at St. Mary's she deeply j endeared herself to all the Sisters, and I she had for them the warmest affection. One of her dying requests was to see her two favorite teachers, a request that was granted. N The number of people who attended the funeral and the many beautiful floral tributes testified equally to the love felt for the lovely yening wife and the esteem in which the family was held. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Perkins of St. Paul's Episcopal Epis-copal church, of which the deceased was a member. Miss Owen. Miss Glea-son, Glea-son, Messrs. Whiteman and Dunbar of the St. Mary's cathedral choir rendered1 the beautiful funeral music. . To the bereaved husbajid. mother and other relatives words of consolation are fruitless. Only the loving help of the Divine One can comfort them, and the remembrance of the beautiful life and character of their dear one. . She possessed pos-sessed every sweet., womanly- grace ,of mind and heart, and has escaped forever for-ever all life's strifes and cares. May her rest be sweet! ( Pergrosse. The saddest funeral that ever occurred oc-curred from St. Mary's cathedral was held last Friday afternoon, when the mortal remains of lovely1 Rose -Pergrosse were laid away midst the sobs of her father, teachers and school friends. Rev. Father. Kiely officiated and delivered a touching and beautiful sermon, in which he paid a warm tribute trib-ute to the innocent, lovely child so suddenly sud-denly taken away. ' The little ones from the Kearns St. Ann's orphanage rendered the music, assisted by Miss Frances Little and Miss Martha O'Connor. The young girl deeply endeared herself her-self to all who knew her, and grief over her untimely death is sincere. She was an exceedingly bright girl wfth marked musical ability, and her beau- j tiful face and sweetness of disposition j made her doirhly attractive. All those who gazed at the sweet face and smiling smil-ing lips of the dead girl felt that death for her was only a transition to the glorious life. To the bereaved ones much loving sympathy is extended." Their dear one has "chosen the better part" and is resting calmly in the eternal sunshine of God's presence. May her soul .rest in peace! |
