It is my painful duty to report the death of Mrs. Jos. [Mary] Gonz, which occurred Friday, Jun 1 [1894]. She leaves a husband and three small children [Joseph Jr., Frank & Mary], together with a mother and sister who will bitterly feel the lose of a loving mother, wife and friend. Mrs. Gonz was sick but one week, but realized before the end came that she was departing this life. It was indeed a severe shock to this community and her many friends when the sad news was spread on Friday morning that she had passed away. Her funeral was attended by hundreds of friends who tearfully and sorrowfully followed to her last resting place. Words are inadequate to descibe the grief of the little children who seem to realize their irreparable loss, and this makes the sorrow of the older ones doubly severe. We can but add our tear to the fount of pity and ask that the mercy of Providence may alleviate the grief which human sympathy fails to assuage. A FRIEND. Nuelles, June 5, 1894. [ Note : Mary's husband, Joseph (1861-1929) was the son of Albert Gonz & Mary A. (Arbeiter) Gonz. Joseph & Mary are buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery / Cedar Hill Baptist Cemetery in Cedar Hill, Mo. Mary was born 24 Nov 1863.]
