Hill. Died in South Napoleon, Dec. 12th, 1882, Mary Louisa, youngest daughter of Mr. J. S. and Mrs. A. Hill, aged 10 years, 6 months and 4 days. Little Mammie was a child of affliction; she could not remember a day or hour that her little body was free from pain. When but an infant one year old, she was afflicted with whooping cough which left her a confined invalid. As her years increased, her afflictions multiplied. For the last four years she had suffered with painful abscesses; at the time of her death there were no less than three of those painful sores on her hack. During her nine year of affliction no murmur or complaint escaped her pale lips. It was truly a marvel to all who saw her that she bore her affliction so patiently, always preserving a cheerful and happy frame of mind. She was very intelligent for one of her years, unnaturally good: she had a particular reverence for the Sabbath, anything said or done not in keeping with its holy hours was a subject of pain to her. She was ambitious and industrious, as the many little articles of her handiwork show. She had a desire to be useful, and worked many times while she suffered much, that she might finish some little article of use or beauty. The set of quilt blocks her own deft little fingers fashioned are patterns of neatness, and of more value than gold to the sorrowing family. Nowhere could little Mamie rest so well as in her I mother's embrace, feeling deeply that she was a constant care, and knowing now weary her dear mother sometimes was, Mamie would tenderly stroke her cheek or entwine her wasted arms about her neck and express her sorrow that she made her ma so tired. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence by Rev. S. J. Gamertsfelder, Dec. 13th, after which her remains were carried to Shunk graveyard where Mamie's little body peacefully rests. Her affectionate parents, one brother and two sisters, miss her more than tongue can tell and deeply grieve her loss, but are comforted by the thought that now she is freed from suffering and pain.
