At her home in Vernon, Sunday morning, November 2, 1890, Mrs. Eva B. Wagner, wife of Everett Wagner. The deceased had been a great sufferer for a long time, and had been confined to her room almost entirely for the past 15 months. Her disease baffled the skill of the best medical advice that could be obtained, and at her request to-day a medical autopsy was held. This investigation disclosed the fact that she had internal cancer. Eva B. Peitzuch was born in North Vernon, Ind., Dec. 7th, 1859, and spent her girlhood in that place. She was married to Mr. Everett Wagner, June 15th, 1880; three sons were born to them, all of whom survive their mother. She united with the Baptist church of Vernon three years ago this month, during the pastorate of Rev. J. O. Burroughs. The life and character of Mrs. Wagner need no euology; they speak for themselves. She was always consistent in all that she did. As a dutiful, affectionate daughter, an unselfish, devoted sister, a true loving wife and mother, and a warm-hearted, sympathetic friend, it can be truly said of her that in her brief life, "She hath done what she could faithfully and well." Her christian character was fully exemplified during her long, painful sickness. Her faith never deserted her, and, while she desired to live for her family, she bowed submissively to the Father in all things. She bore her intense sufferings uncomplainingly, and always had a cheery word and smile for her friends and attendants. The end came peacefully, and she met the "dread summons" in the spirit of her favorite poem, "As one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, And lies down to pleasant dreams." The bereaved husband and relatives have the sympathy of a large number of friends and we point them to that Source of comfort on whom she leaned so confidingly in life, and with whom she journeyed through the "valley of the shadow". The funeral occured on Wednesday afternoon from the Baptist church and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. T. A. Childs assisted by Rev. S. E. Barr. A large concourse of friends went to the Vernon cemetery where the beloved form was tenderly laid to await its resurection. "Of all the thoughts of God that are borne inward unto souls afar along the Psalmists music deep, Now tell me if that any is, For gift or grace surpassing this, ~ He giveth his beloved sleep.
