Saidla - Rebecca

It comes as our sad duty to chronicle the death of our beloved friend and neighbor, Mrs. Rebecca Saidla. She fell asleep in Jesus Thursday night, Nov. 14. She suffered from softening of the brain. What a sad scene to witness the parting of a dear mother from her husband and children, but she passed away as quietly as a babe falling asleep in its mother’s arms. It was a death that we could all feel was a Christian one and it is true “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.”
She was a member of the German Baptist Church and was a good and zealous sister. She was loved by all who knew her. Her age was 74 years, 4 months and 13 days. She leaves an aged husband, one sister, eight dear children, thirty two grandchildren, and twenty great grandchildren, with a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
The funeral took place Saturday morning at eleven o’clock conducted by Charley Campbell from Proverbs 25:25. The discourse was delivered to a large and sympathizing congregation. The family in their bereavement has the prayers and sympathy of the entire community. - s
