Death of Mrs Sutherland
One ot the saddest deaths it has
been our lot to pen is that of Mrs D
VV Sutherland which occurred at her
home last Saturday morning This
irood woman and the writer’s family
have had for the past twenty years a
very warm attachment for each oth-
er having’ been together a great deal
almost every day and her jolly good
nature always proved her a good
friend She has been a constant suf-
ferer for severalyears but we always
found her smiling and with the words
"O I am better or soon will be”
never giving up She bad not taken
to her bed at all only lying down
occasionally but her disease what-
ever it was took a different turn the
last week than ever before and she
grew rapidly worse But little did
her friends think her time was so
near and when the news spread Sat-
urday morning that Mrs Sutherland
waffdead it cast a gloom over the
entire community for she was a wom-
an who was loved by everybody chil-
dren as well as older ones
On a wakening Friday night at about
11:30 she fully realized that her time
had come and Informed Mr Suther-
land of the fact Her physician Dr
II II Williams was at once called
hut only to prove what she had already
told them that death was near Her
family and -her sisters Mrs O E
Dutton and Miss Mary Bishop were
soon at her side She talked to them
i
and told them she was ready to go
and was happy and kept singing
“There la a land that is fairer than
this” and'her mother would meet her
at the gate never once forgetting
her friends mentioning them all and
with a sentence unfinished this dear
one passed away
The funeral occurred at the home
Sunday morning at 9 o’clock conduct-
ed by the Rev Giffen and Rev Ben-
nett where a large concourse of
friends had gathered to pay the last
sad respects to the one whom they
loved and honored
Beautiful flowers were everywhere
sent by loving friends The remains
were accompanied to the depot by
the Ladled Reading Circle the Mason-
sc Order and G A II of which Mr
Sutherland and she were both mem-
bers where they took the 10 o’clock
train for Newton where they were
met by a large crowd of sorrowing
friends This is where Mrs Suther-
land spent her childhood days and
deep sorrow overspread this entire
community at her death She was
buried by the side of her parents
Monday morning at eleven o’clock In
the family burying ground
She leaves behind besides her hus-
band four sons two sisters and two
brothers All with the exception of
the brothers were with her when the
end came Dee her own son Is only
fifteen years old and will miss the love
and care that only a mother can give
The otheh boys were her step sons
but she was a mother to - them in
every sense ot the word and they were
greatly attached to each other The
taking away of this good wife and
mother takes away the home that
these boys dearly loved to come to
Those from out town were: Mr
and Mrs L C Sutherland Robert
Sutherland Wilbur Sweezv a fiephew
and Mrs C D Dewing of Des Moines
Allie Bishop-Sutherland was born
in Jasper county Iowa Noveiner 22
18511 and had she lived until the fol-
lowing day would have been 47 years
old She came to Manning 22 years
ago and was married to D XV Suth
erland in 1884 and one son Ernest Dee
was born to them in 1887
The heartfelt sympathy of of this
community is given to the bereaved
in thir hour of sorrow
She is not dead this beloved one of
our affection
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our pro-
tection - And Christ himself doth rule
— Manning (Iowa) Monitor
V e appreciate the above tribute to
a sister greatly beloved by us who de-
parted tht6 life last Saturday morn-
ing at a few minutes after 5 o’clock
We must correct the editor of the
Monitor as to the place and date of
birth of this sister:
Almira Virginia Bishop was born in
Sangamon county Illinois on Novem-
ber 22 1857 In 1805 she came with
her parents to Jasper county Iowaj
where she grew to womanhood She
was educated in the public school and
at Hazel Dell academy at Newton
Iowa and for a number of years was
enrolled as a teacher She was quick
to learn and always stood at the head
of her classes She was a successful
teacher
In the year 1881 her mother died
and the family soon scattered The
next year In company with her oldest
sister she left the old homestead for
Manning Iowa where she continued
to reside up to the time of her death
It was here she was married and here
her son Dee whom she worshiped
was born and here it wa6that so many
warm enduring friendships were
formed Including all the good people
of the place yet It was not her desire
to be buried there At her request
she was buried hy the side of her fath
er and mother in Mount Zion ceme-
tery Jasper county close to that old
home and in the midst of those who
had “known her best and loved her
longest”
Our dead sister had so many com-
mendable traits it is hard for us to’
say which were the most prominent
She detested shams and hypocrisy
She liked the genuine Her watch-
word was “Be firm be just be true”
She was a brave woman and in the
presence of death she did not quail
With a kind word to the loved ones
around her and a kind message to ab-
sent ones she announced herself ready
to go into the great beyond Just be-
fore she closed her eyes in death she
turned to her invalid sister and said:
“Mary you will soon follow Mother
will be there to meet us the gate will
be ajar”
Our sister “A llie” was a noble wom-
an in all that term implies and in her
death we have lost one of our dearest
and best friends
