Margaret Elizabeth "Lizzie"

WASSUM, Annie M. - Died, Nov. 30th of Typhoid Pneumonia, near

Rhea’s Mills, Arkansas, Annie M. Wassum, second daughter of W.J. and M.

Wassum, aged 18 years, 1 month and 22 days. Again the death angel has

entered a happy home and taken therefrom one of its dearest treasures

and aching hearts are now yearning for one sight of the beloved form or

one sound of the gentle voice of darlinghnie. She embraced the Christian

religion and was immersed by Elder L. Scott in February 1874 and since

that time has lived a devoted Christian life and died triumphant in the

hope of a home in the mansions which in her dying hours she said were too

bright to be gazed upon by mortal eyes. Patient throughout her sickness

and fully prepared for the coming of the summons which sooner or later all

must hear, we have full confidence that she has gone to the home of the

Saviour whom she loved and at his right hand is waiting to welcome her

beloved ones home. AFriend. Hickory Grove, Dec. llth, 1874. Oceola Democrat
