"The Town in Mourning - Over the Death of Mrs. W. Abell, Funeral Wednesday Forenoon at 10:30" Edith, wife of Mr. W. Abell, died at her home in this place, Sunday evening, July 10, of hemorrhage of the bowels induced by typhoid fever. Up to within two days of her death she was considered convalescent, the fever having been broken, and until a few hours before the end the noble lady thought that she was soon to be well again and be a comfort and helpmeet to her family; but when the call came for her to go she was reconciled, and with that readiness with which she met the duties of this life she entered upon the threshold of the other world, confident in the promises of her Savior. About a month ago her youngest brother went to his home, from Cleveland, sick with typhoid fever. She remained at his bedside until he began to mend. Being a person of delicate health she came home worn out, and soon after took to her bed. Friends had no apprehension of so sad a termination until the last few days of her illness. No woman will be missed more by the people of this community than Mrs. Abell. She was a most estimable lady. Her death was a shock to the residents of Linesville, and one that the bereft family will not recover from. Edith Phillips was born in Girard township, Erie county, this state, April 10th, 1854 - being, therefore, in her 39th year; married to Wilbur Abell November 23, 1875. February 22nd of the following year they moved to this (Crawford) county and since that time they have resided in the county. In early life Mrs. A. united with the M.E. church and was always a steadfast and devoted member, employing herself in the Master's work to her full strength. 'Through the pathway of life she never complained Though hard were the duties to bear She trusted in Him who never forsakes His children in sorrow and care. For years she did labor for those that she loved As a mother in frailness and pain; But Jesus has called her, and bid her come home The treasure of Heaven to gain. Yet sad were our hearts when we bid her fairwell; Not to lay her beneath the green sod But happy to know she departed in peace And her spirit went home to its God. Let us follow the Master she trusted in life, And note her example of love; That the angels will one day welcome us home To meet our dear mother above." Funeral will take place at the house, Wednesday, July 13, at 10:30 am at Springfield, Erie county, cemetery. A husband, son Lawrence, aged 13, and daughter, Rebecca, aged 11, and a large family circle and friends are called to mourn for her who was summoned in the prime of life.
