OBITUARY

Frances Hooker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hooker was born in Sullivan County, Missouri, August 3, 1869, and died October 15, 1889 of malarial typhoid fever. Her suffering was great, but I never knew her to murmur. A few days before her death she said she didn't believe she would get well. She said: "Twenty years is a short life. I have never seen the folly of the world, and if I get well, I have made up my mind to live a Christian life." At another time she said, "I would like to get well, but if I can't, the will of the Lord be done." She claimed Him as her Father, and she His child. She was a loving daughter and a kind sister. O, how we miss her from our broken family circle. One brother has gone on before. She leaves a father and mother, and four brothers and five sisters and many friends to mourn, but not as those who have no hope.

Our loss is her eternal gain.
