The saddest of all sad deaths which have been recorded in our town is that of Mrs. J. P. Laney which occurred last Saturday morning at 4 oclock.
Mrs. Laney had been married but three months and took typhoid fever about two weeks after her wedding day. She was sick for forty eight days and Saturday morning she stated to the night watchers at her bedside that she felt better and asked them to retire to rest. After administering nourishment and stimulants they retired but were soon awakened by Mr.Laney who had been aroused by his wifes last struggle. Death, at all times, is sad, but just at that time when two lives have been sweetly blended and we have begun to weave and interweave the loving cords of tender affection about the lives of those we dearly love and death steps in to rob us of lifes sweet happiness, it is hard. We all deplore death in any form but to come to one in wedding garments just as the dawn of an interesting and happy life is breaking oer our happy heads it is indeed sad, and sadder too when a young husbands distracted heart is left to mourn oer the grave of that sweet creature to whom he pledged his faith but a short while ago at the marriage altar. The Post sympathizes, deeply and sincerely with Mr. Laney in his bereavement.
