OBITS

KNAPP, GERTRUDE CRAIG

Obit: At Rest.---Gertie Craig Knapp, youngest daughter of A. J. and Rebecca Craig, passed peacefully away this morning at 3 o'clock; having been ill with consumption for some weeks. Mrs. Knapp was born in Marion county, Iowa, October 8, 1871 and was married to Judson Knapp April 30, 1890. The dear, gentle, patient woman has, indeed, left sorrowing friends. Her young spirit winged its early flight to Heaven when the morning stars were singing together in glorious unison. She never murmured nor complained, but calmly waited for the new breath of life. Though she perished like a flower from the arms of a devoted husband and loving parents, yet it is but a passing cloud over the present grief; for we know there is a voice from the tomb, sweeter than the song of the living, that softens away into pensive meditation by the remembrances of the dead, to which we turn even from the charms of life. The funeral services will be conducted at the M. E. church to-morrow, at 10 o'clock a. m., Rev. C. V. Penn officiating. (Oct. 1893, submitted anonmously)
