    3. BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1902 Death of Mrs. Eli W. Fish. Wife of one of Lawrence county's worthy boys passed away at their home No. 1418 Grand Ave., Kansas City, Mo. May 9, 1902. Her disease was nervous prostration from which she died after lingering five weeks. Mrs. Fish was born in Bedford, Ind., Sept. 11, 1848. Was married to Mr. Fish in 1866. Her maiden name was Eliza C. Clark, and was a sister of Mrs. William Hilton, of this city. Mrs. Fish was well known in this vicinity, and her many friends will with sorrow hear of her death. On behalf of the friends and relatives of Mrs. Fish, and family, the writer tenders our sincere sympathy and condolence in their great bereavement. "Weep not the her suffering if o'er, Weep not that her race is run, God grant we may rest as calmly, When our work like hers is done. Till then we would yield up gladly, Our treasure to him to keep, And rejoice in the sweet assurance, He giveth his loved ones Sleep." Mrs. Fish was a member of the First Christian church of Kansas City. Although her home had been in the west for nearly thirty-six years we haven't forgot the sweet, gentle life of our dear friend, and may the spirit and comfort of God attend us until we one by one cross over. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn. He son Phil is a business man of St. Louis and her daughter, Mrs. Schley, is a resident of Kansas City. J. W.
