A Correction.

Editor Jasper Co., Democrat: Having noticed a mistake in both of the Rensselaer papers in regard to the date of my wife’s death, I wish to correct the mistake. She died Jan, 13, 1900, at 6 o’clock a. m. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Matthews of Remington, at half past ten the following Monday. She was laid to rest in the Remington cemetery. She had been a sufferer for 3 years, 7 months and 15 days. She bore her suffering with patience and Christian fortitude. She united with the M. E. Church Jan. 1, 1891, but had lived a pure Christian life from childhood. Just 3 hours from the last words she spoke she passed away without a struggle or as much as the quivering or a muscle, and I was left alone in this cold world, and the darling wife I loved better than I loved my own life was with the angels in heaven. Were I to attempt to thank my friends and relatives for their kindness during my wife’s sickness I would make an entire failure, for no words can express my heartfelt gratitude to them for their kindness. Praying that God will give me strength to bear the burden he has placed upon me, I am, Yours Respectfully,

ELLIS JONES.
