Mrs. Jessie Gould arrived here fr< m
Baker City a few weeks since to make her
home with her aunt, Mrs. P. Fowler.
Her husband was killed near doc« ma.
Wash., on Jan. 22nd, by a L g rolling up
on him; a few days later her infant child
died after a brief illness; and now her
only’ remaining child, a bright boy < f
three years, was consigned to tarth in th»*
Talent cemetery on the 1th. inst, having
fallen victim to me.ishs and fever.
Few persons have had greater misfor
tunes in so short a j eriod. In the spuceof
ten weeks she has lost a husband and her
two children. The scene at the grave wa -
affecting indeed.
To see that young
mother, whose sorrow was too d<-ep and
intense for violent, outward man:f< sta
tion, bending over her darling, vet beau
tiful in death and imprinting hist and
loving kisses upon those pallid 1;| s.
brought sympath« tic tears to the eyas < i
every spectator. We cannot err when we
say that the bertavul mother. Ims tl.e
heartfelt sympathy of every j crsi.ui in the
community.
