OBITUARY OF MRS. CHILDS.
A True Christian Life Passed to Its Heavenly
Reward.
Mrs. Gertrude Grant Childs was born
March 26, 1859, in Fremont, Carrol Co.,
Ill., and died January 9, 1896, aged 36
years, 9 months and 13 days. She left a
husband, a sister and an infant son
to mourn her early departure to the en
joyment of heavenly life.
She was married to Rev. E. P. Childs,
then pastor of the Congregational
church of Anita, Iowa, January 31,1889.
Later she went to Boston w ith her hus
band and spent a year in the study of
music. Mr. Childs then accepted a call
to the pastorate of the Congregational
church of Ashland and they came to our
city and began life and work here in
June, 1894, since which time w’e have
know-n her, to admire her consistent
Christian life and lovely character.
Hers was genuine piety, warm love and
radiant faith.
.
*
She will be greatly missed by her
loved ones and many friends.
The funeral services were held Satur
day afternoon, January 11, in the Con
gregational church, which was filled to
its utmost capacity.
Revs. F. G.
Strange and S. E. Meminger conducted
the sendees, the music being rendered
by the Presbyterian choir. The floral
decorations were tasteful and beautiful.
We extend to the bereaved ones our
heart-felt sympathy.
Au Arrest Follows.
So much party feeling had been man
ifested in Medford over their election,
which occurred yesterday, that the libel
ous attacks made upon some candidates
by their oponents, have, we are inform
ed by good authority, resulted in the
arrest of one of the principal partici
pants, Oscar Carpenter. The plaintiff
in the case is A. S. Hammond.
