• Notes

  The last sad rites over the remains of Miss Rose Lasier, who expired at the residence of her mother on Adams street, will be performed tomorrow afternoon at 2 o;clock. The funeral will be held from the house, 174 Adams street, Dr. H. D. Jenkins, of the First Presbyterian church officiating. Miss Lasier's last illness was of long duration, but the family physician had been of the opinion that her disease was one from which she would ultimately recover. Not until a week ago did the doctor lose confidence, and it was with feelings of mingled pain and sorrow that he announced to the almost heart-broken mother and other relatives that he did not think it possible she would survive many days longer. The deceased struggled bravely against death, but he was the conqueror. She bore her pain with Christian fortitude, always mindful that every sigh or groan would only cause her mother increased sorrow and despair. Her soul was too good and pure to longer dwell on this earth, and the kind Father, "who doeth all things well" claimed for His own, to dwell with Him forevermore. Miss Lasier was born at Preston, Ontario, in the year 1833. In 1836 Mr. and Mrs, Lasier, with their two little children, Rose and Fred, removed to Freeport. Five other children - four sons and one daughter were born in this city. The father died in 1849, and a daughter , Miss Josephine, was called hence in 1869. The surviving sons are Fred, residing at Detroit, Mich., Silas D., of Santa Fe, N. M., Napoleon B., and David D., of Chicago, and Jefferson, of Washington D. C. Mrs. T. F. Goodhue is an aunt of the deceased. It is expected that all will be present at the funeral although it is doubtful whether Silas D. will be able to reach here in time. The mourning relatives have the sympathy and condolence of a large circle of near and dear friends to help sustain them in this dark hour. To the relatives no word of human sympathy can have but empty sound. Yet they may know that tears are flowing with their tears, That people of this city mourn with them. Miss Rose Lasier was beloved by all who know her, and the regret is universal that she has passed to the life beyond. From the November 16th, 1888 Freeport Weekly Democrat.
