Obituary of Mrs. Waiter R. Lee.

Rose Lutz was born on a farm near Manhattan, in Will county, Illinois, February 22, 1876, where she lived until she was 17 years old, when she moved with the family to Jasper county, Indiana, residing in Hanging Grove township. On May 29, 1895, she was married to Walter R. Lee, and to this union were born three sons, Archie, age 16; Cecil, age 15, and Howard, age 3, all of whom survive her. In the fall of 1905 she with her husband and two older sons, moved to Rensselaer, where she has since lived until the time of her death, Sept. 30, 1912, at the age of 36 years, 7 months and 8 days. A more perfect wife, a more loving mother, could not be conceived. Her one thought being for her loved ones and the welfare of those around her. In her long illness of nearly 4 years she was the most patient of sufferers, never at any time offering a word of complaint, always looking to the bright future when she would be well again to enjoy life with those most dear to her. :■_ She joined the M. E. church at the age of 15 and remained of that faith until her removal to Rensselaer in 1905, when she joined the Presbyterian church. Besides her husband and three sons she leaves her mother, Laura Lutz, of Rensselaer, three sisters, Mrs. John Maxwell, residing on the homestead, east of Rensselaer; Mrs. Fred Arnott, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. A. D. Bickford, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and two brothers, Willis A. and Walter Q. Lutz, both of Rensselaer. Card of Thanks. We are unable to see and thank all of the many friends personally, therefore we take this means of expressing the deep gratitude we feel for the numberless acts of kindness so thoughtfully performed for us during our extreme sorrow and bereavement in the loss of wife, and mother. The abundant kindness and sympathy has indeed taken some of the keen edge, and we do sincerely thank everyone.

W. R. LEE and BOYS.
