The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County Thursday April 14, 1887 Died,--At her home on sec. 19 6-36; Mrs. SHOALTS, of consumption. She had lingered all winter but was taken suddenly worse on April 1st., and departed this life Apr. 3rd. She leaves a large family of children and a husband to mourn her loss. This is the second death that has occurred in the family in the last year. Funeral services were held at the home on the 5th., and were attended by a large concourse of people, after which the remains were conveyed to the grave, but not interred owing to doubts in the minds of the familys as to her being dead, but taken home again. She had cautioned her daughters before her death to not let her be buried alive. April 6th the people gathered together once more pay the last sad rites to a departed friend. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad affliction. Mother will be sadly missed in the family circle, but they have a blessed comfort in that she has only gone before. She was ready to go and is only waiting for her loved ones on the other shore. Mr. Shoalts thanked his friends for their sympathy and kindess at the grave of his loved one, in a few eloquent and appropriate words. (Note; This sounds very familiar to the posted death earlier of one Mrs. SHULTZ on April 7, 1887.)
