i • OBITUARY. Ir'.Lj May Rusell was born four miles southwest of Decatur, Adams county, Indiana, July 2, 1875, and departed this life May 14, 1912, aged 36 years, 10 months and 12 days. She lived with her parents William and Winifred J. Russell, during childhood, near the Washington, church. When she was nineteen years of age the family moved to Decatur. In early youth she was converted and united with the M. E. church at Washington. She later transferred her- membership to Deca tur. Her young life was one of helpfulness and devotion to good deeds and the cause of righteousness. In 1889 she was united in marriage to Valandingham Snell. To this union were born eight children, five of whom survive her: Frances, aged 12, Florence, aged 10; Rosa. 8; Lillie, 6, and Clements, 4. Later years have brought the trials incident to motherhood and home life, but Mrs. Snell found her Savior sufficient for them all and hetinfluence has been that of a kind mother and a thoughtful friend, and an ever-cheerful disposition. Five months ago affliction came upon her, and through the weary weeks, medical aid did all it could to restore her health, yet the days were fraught with intense physical suffering, at times almost unbearable. She has many friends, neighbors and relatives who j watched constantly by her bedside for her comfort. Though it were hard indeed to think of leaving her loved ones, especially the little children, still Mrs. Snell became resigned, knowing that the Lord is “too wise to err and too good to be unkind. - ’ At last she hoped and prayed that her Master might call for His own and relieve he'pain. Many times she was heard to say, “Any time.” To her loving, watchful mother, soon before the end, she said, "I’m ready." It was fitting that these should be her last words, for her friends know that these were in her heart always, whenever there was a task that she might do, a burden she might make lighter, or a kind word she might speak. The end came Tuesray, May 14th, a litle past noon. Peacefully she sank into the slumber which knows no awakening this side the home beyond. She leaves a sorrowing husband, a widowed mother, throe sisters, three brothers, five children and a host of relatives and friends, to mour ntheir loss. Yet we may know that her sou’ though gone from us, has been called to its just reward, and if faithful we may see again her happy face, where sorrows come no more. “We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and fair; And oft are its glories confessed — But what must it be to be there! “Do thou, Q Lord, midst pleasure and woe, For heaven our spirits prepare? Then soon shall we joyfully know And feel what it is to be there.”
