Obituary Record

Yesterday noon at ten minutes to one o'clock died Mrs. M. A. Engman, wife of the late P. Engman and mother of our esteemed citizen, Robert C. Engman and of Mrs. E. E. Jordy, of Harrison County. Mrs. Engman's death was due to the relapse of a case of la grippe in its most aggravated form. Her life, 74 years of age, was a long and useful one, and many are the friends who will miss the dear face of so cheerful a heart, the gentle influence of an impulse charitably inclined and a disposition that was itself a lesson of goodness and humility. She was the devoted mother of a son who cared for her comfort and helped make easy the declining days of life. Strange the coincidence, but nevertheless true, Mrs. Engman's death occurred on the exact date of her son's eighth wedding anniversary. The funeral took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was largely attended.
