The grim reaper, death, has cast its shadow of gloom over another home and has taken from it the beloved mother of Mrs. Bell Linn, Mrs. Jose Harris and Mrs. Henry Humbert. Mrs. Mary Joh was born in Virginia in 1835 and moved to Indiana many years ago. She was married to Mr. Isaac Humbert and to them was born three children. She departed this life Aug. 19, 1901, about five o’clock, p.m., to join her beloved husband, who died many years ago on the battle field, and to meet her brothers and sisters who have gone on before. She leaves two sisters, one brother and many friends to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Humbert joined the M. E. Church at the age of 12 and was a firm believer in the Christian religion and at the time of her death expressed herself willing to go at the summons of her Master, and told them not to weep for her. She was a loving and devoted mother. Her life was one of gentleness, kindness and sympathy. Words cannot carry consolation to these loving children, who with sad and heavy hearts returned to their lonely home, where there is no one who can fill her place in the vacant chair or take her place in their hearts.
Her funeral occurred Wednesday at 10 a.m., at the New Ross M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. Adkins and Rev. Reeder. The body was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery at New Ross. Death is everywhere. None are beyond his reach, and none are beneath his notice. All must die. The days of her mourning are ended. Having fought the good fight and kept the faith, she having finished her course and entered into rest. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, for they now rest from all their labors, from temptation, from sin, from sorrow and from death. -s
