Leon Reporter
January 4, l894

DIED--MRS. MARY E. POST, at her home in Leon, Iowa, Jan. 4th, l894, of
catarrh and consumption. She was born in Barre, Wis., April 9th, l860.
Her maiden name was RYDER and she was united in marriage to MR. JAMES
POST, October 27, l874. She embraced the Gospel of Christ on April ll,
l890 at Lamoni, Iowa, being baptized into the Reorganized Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

MRS. POST was the mother of five children, four of whom, with her
husband, father, one brother, two sisters and a host of friends, are
left to mourn her loss. She was so far as we know, a good mother, a
true and faithful wife and from the time she received the Gospel till
her death, a devoted Saint.

(Can't read last paragraph, as paper is torn.)

We say it for an hour or for long years;
We say it smiling say it choked with tears.
We say it coldly, say it with a kiss,
And yet we have no dearer word than this:
Good-bye.
