  DEATH OF MRS. ELIZA DATE. A FORMER RESIDENT OF BERLIN Passes to Rest in Minnesota. Mrs. W. H. Bowman, Queen Street, received a telegram this morning announcing the death of her Mother, Mrs. Eliza Date, in Rochester, Minn., on Wednesday evening last. The message was a shock to Mr. and Mrs. Bowman and family, though they knew of Mrs. Date's illness for some time past, they little thought her death would result there from and it was the intention of Mrs. Bowman to go to her bedside should her indisposition take on an acute form. The deceased lady, and her husband formerly resided in Berlin, and she is well remembered for her many acts of kindness and charity. Especially was she ever ready to administer to those in sickness. Her tender hand relieved many an aching brow and her memory will not be soon forgotten by her many friends and admirers in Berlin. Mrs. Date was buried this afternoon in her Western home and she had reached the good old age of Seventy-eight years. She leaves seven children to mourn her departure. John and Frederick Date, in Seattle; William, in Colorado; Samuel in Rochester, Minn.; Mrs. Zeigler in Grand Fords, Dakota; Mrs. Hendee, St. Charles, Minn; and Mrs. W. H. Bowman of Berlin. The Berlin Daily Telegraph - April 14, 1893 _____________ Mrs. Eliza Date died on the 12th inst. at the home of her son, S. H. Date, in this city, of dropsy after a protracted illness of about ten weeks. Mrs. Date was born in London, England, Feb. 18, 1814, and was 79 years of age on her last birthday. In 1834 she was married to Joseph Date and with her husband came to America about ten years after their marriage, first settling at Burlington, Canada. Here Mrs. Date became a widow and continued to reside until 1888, when she removed to Rochester and has since lived with her son. The deceased was the mother of eight children, four boys and four girls, seven of whom are still living and are left to mourn the loss of a loving mother and helpful friend. Her daughter, Mrs. Acil Hendee, of St. Charles, has been with her constantly for the past four weeks to comfort and administer to her wants. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. L. H.
