She was taken sick in May and continued in a gradual decline until death called her to give up a life of youth and hope. August 25, 1905 having accomplished a journey of 14 years, 4 months and 29 days. There survive her a loving father, mother and three sisters, an older brother preceeded in infancy to the great beyond. Among her friends and schoolmates, Anna was known for her sunny, kind disposition, always wishing her fellow class-mates to enjoy themselves and gladly doing her full part to contribute to the pleasure and well being of all. She brought the same spirit into her home and throughout her sickness, continued to appreciate the pleasures of life, which to her in her youth must have been full of visions of hope and beauty. In May when all nature is at her best, with Anna it was the beginning of a fall and in the heighth of summer, wintry death has claimed her. Although she had no church affiliation it is a comfort to believe she was reconciled to her condition, for in those hours that cry the soul, she was heard humming those beautiful hopefull words, " I am going home to die no more." Of Anna the words of the past seem pathetic as the answers the call of her Maker. Standing with reluctant feel When the brook and river meet Womanhood and childhood fleet. Deep and still that gliding stream Beautiful to thee did seem As a river of a dream. CLIFFORD FOOS Is Struck by Fast Passenger Train On Erie Rail Road at Centerville and Killed.
