Obituary of Mrs. J. C. Ireland. Nellie Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. John H. and Mary J. Davidson, was born in Fountain county, Indiana, February 2, 1865, and died September 22, 1910, aged 45 years, 7 months and 20 days. The cause of her death was paralysis.

She was united in marriage to John C. Ireland March 22, 1883. To this union were born ten children, two of whom died in infancy. The husband and eight children survive, as follows: William C., of Hammond; Harold, Firman, Edna, Bernice, Charles, Clyston and Opal. Also two little granddaughters, Oveta and Edith Ireland. She was from earliest childhood of a sweet, loving and cheerful disposition and tenderly loved by her family, sisters, brothers, and all who came in contact with her. Her kindness reached out to those beyond her home and dispelled the clouds of grief or discouragement, for she had the happy faculty of seeing the silver lining to every cloud, and long will her deeds of kindness and tender ministrations be remembered. It is sad, indeed, that she should leave her family where she was the guardian angel. But we bow in submission. She had ,been declining in health for some time, but because of her cheerful, uncomplaining nature, we did not realize it as we should. In early girlhood she united with the Uniteci Brethren church and until the time of her death was a most faithful follower. m —' T ' - ' ' : That she realized the end was near is evidenced by the tact that a number of times she had mentioned her choice of burial place and funeral arrangements. Besides her immediate family she leaves six brothers and five sisters, of which all but two were present. We laid her away in beautiful Osborne cemetery, saying in our heats, farewell dear wife, gentle sister, dearest mother, we shall meet you on the Golden Shore. A SISTER.
