    3. FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, January 26, 1911 MISS ELIZABETH AGNES HUSS The announcement Friday, January 20th, of the death of Miss Lizzie Huss came when her friends were expecting to hear that she was on the way to recovery. She was ill but ten days, but seemed to realize from the first that she could not recover, and resigning herself to the will of God, she spent the remaining hours of her life in prayerful preparation for a peaceful Christian death. There is no consolation so great, for those by whom the separation caused by death is most keenly felt, as the knowledge that the one who has passed away realized the meaning of death and prepared to meet God in a Christian way, mindful of her responsibilities as a Christian. Her death was edifying, calm and peaceful. "Radiating through all the gloom and sadness, and apparent desolation, is a stream of golden light illumining the pathway to heaven -- the vision of God -- happiness eternal. The separation is only for a brief space of time. We are not as those who have no hope. We confidently look forward to a blessed reunion in heaven." The esteem in which she was held was evidenced by the very large number of her friends present at the Requiem Mass and services conducted at the Catholic Church by her pastor, Father Joseph Collins. She was laid to rest in Calvary cemetery. "Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen."
