Youngest Member of Family Called Home.

H. E. Parkison received a telegram this morning announcing the death of Mrs. Joseph Moore-Paxton at South Bend Thursday night. Mrs. Paxton had been in very poor health for a long time. Her ailment was cancer of the liver. Everything . possible had been done to stay the ravaged of this terrible disease but without avail. She was the youngest child of Mr. anil Mrs. W. E. Moore and lived until her marriage with them in this city, where she was greatly loved by all who knew her. Mrs. H. E. Parkison, her sister, was at her bedside at the time of her death, which had been expected for several days. Her death will be a severe shock to her brothers and sisters, but the grief of her devoted husband and only daughted will be almost unbearable. She was about forty-eight years of age, surrounded by almost every condition necessary to happiness, a beautiful home, a charming daughter, happily married and living within calling distance, idolized by a splendid husband and a host of devoted friends. The Republican extends to Mr. Poxton, his daughter, and to the brothers and sisters, our heartfelt sympathy and points them to the noble life of this splendid woman for comfort and consolation. She was a faithful Christian and the editor of this paper remembers her as a young Tady of tremendous influence for the church. , ~ The funeral will be held Sunday, Marcr 4th at 2:30 p. m. at South Bend.
