Mrs. Lough was converted and joined the Prairie Chapel Christian Church feb 1885 under the ministry of Elder JT Phillips. She has ever since been an ardent worker in all the departments of the Church, being VP of the Prairie Chapel Ladies Aid Society at the time of her death. She will be sadly missed by the Church and community for she was a noble Christian woman, who lived not for herself alone, but was generous, good and kind to everyone. But in the home and in the hearts of the sorrowing family there is a vacancy that can not be filled, for she was a very indulgent wife and mother very earnest in her desires that her children be honorable, just and useful. While it is a painful trial to give a dear one to the Reaper, Death, we also have a firm faith in the immortality of the soul and confidence of God's promises are consoled and can look through our tears to the Life Beyond.
