DEATH OF A BELOVED WOMAN; MRS. MARY E. CASE

Mrs. Mary E. Case, wife if Eugene D. Case, passed away Tuesday evening at 5:30
o'clock at their rooms in Mrs. Mamie Lake's residence after a long and
lingering illness. A brief funeral service was conducted Wednesday afternoon
at Mrs. Lake's by Revs. J.C. Francis and Hobart Murphree and also at the
grave. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at New Harmony church.
During the funeral service Bro. Murphree read the following outline of her
life:

Mary E. Middleton was born September 3, 1843 in Madison County, Indiana. Her
father moved his family to Olmstead County, Minnesota when she was a little
girl. In 1861 she was married to David C. Bentley there. Mr. Bentley died in
1879. Two children by her first husband survive her: Lula Bentley Norcross
of St. Paul, Minn., and Willis B. Bentley of Seattle, Wash. After Mr.
Bentley's death, in order to support herself and children she moved to
Owatonna, Minn. and kept boarders. While Mr. Case was attending Pillsbury
Academy there, he went to board with her and has been a member of her
household ever since. They married in 1907. They moved to Miami, Fla. in
1912 and from there to Fruithurst, Ala. in April 1920. Mrs. Case was a member
of the Baptist church from girlhood except a few years while they were living
at Stanton, N.D., they were members of the Methodist Episcopal church there.
Her last Baptist membership was in the First Baptist church at Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. She has always been a christian, full of good works, kind
and sympathetic and loved by all who knew her. Her patience and cheerfulness
and fortitude have been an inspiration to her husband in their declining years.

CARD OF THANKS

I would like to thank each one for kindness and sympathy demonstrated and
expressed at the death of my wife and especially do I think the young people
coming from the high school to sing the comforting hymns at the funeral
service and at the cemetery. At such a time the comfort from friends is
beyond words to express but I want you all to know that I appreciate it.
Eugene D. Case.

children, five girls and give sons, her aged, father, seven brothers and two
sisters, besides a host of other relatives. The funeral was conducted by W.R.

Aunt Mollie numbered her friends by the acquaintances she had and all oved her
as a pure, sweet christian woman. She was a member of the First Methodist
church at Oak Level. She was 47 years old at the time of her death and had
lived in the community all of her life. We feel that our loss is her eternal
gain and we admonish her husband and children who are left to mourn the loss
of one so near and dear to set their heart steadfastly upon the straight and
narrow way and follow in her footsteps as she followed the blessed savior.
Aunt Mollie has gone to dwell in that mansion prepared for her and the
redeemed.

"One by one earth's ties are broken,
as we near the shining shore,
For across the river waits us,
The loved ones gone before.
