H.R. GEARY Mrs. H.R. Geary died in Hood River May 4, 1910, aged 65 years. The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the undertaker’s parlors in Hood River, conducted by Rev. J.G. Tate, assisted by Dr. T.B. Ford. Appropriate solos were rendered by Mrs. Fred Tate, accompanied by Miss Nellie Tate at the organ. The remains were interred in Idlewilde cemetery. The floral offerings from relatives and friends were many and beautiful. Achsah Brown was born January 28, 1845, in Pompey, New York, and was married to R.H. Geary, July 3, 1864. In the year 1867 she, with her husband and one child, moved to Plainview, Minn., in which place they lived until 1894. In that year the family moved to St. Paul, where they resided until 1907, when they came to Hood River, where her husband died September 28, 1909. The surviving members of the family are George H. and Arthur B. of St. Paul, James E. of Pine River, Minn., and Susan A. of Hood River. On Wednesday evening, May 4, at 7 o’clock the silent messenger came in and summoned her gentle, loving spirit home. For more than three years the fatal disease had slowly but surely been sapping the life of this patient sufferer. Her friends all knew and she also realized the fact that it was only a question of brief time when she must succumb to its direful ravages. But during those long years of anxiety and suffering, not a word of complaint did she utter. Not a sign of fear did she manifest, but silently, uncomplainingly she bore the cross which Providence had given her to bear and with true Christian grace and fortitude, performed as best she could, the duties of each passing hour. Always a loving wife, a kind and affectionate mother, a generous neighbor, she was more solicitous about the welfare of others than of herself. She is that rest now, her troubles are over, she has gone to a brighter and better world than this and we cannot nor would we do otherwise than say “The Lord’s Will be Done.” A Friend. ------------------------------------- The Hood River News, Hood River, OR., May 11, 1910, page 3 MRS.
