Gone to Her Reward

Mrs. Minnie Luce passed away Saturday evening at 9 o'clock January 25th. Death was not unexpected as she had been a patient sufferer for a number of years with consumption.
Deceased was a native of California and was born in western Tehama county thirty-eight years ago, where she has always resided. She was the second daughter and second child of G. W. Lantz and Margaret Williams Lantz. She was married to John Luce in 1894; by this union four children were born, one of whom, Agnes, seven years old is still living.
The funeral took place from the family residence Monday afternoon and was attended by many sorrowing friends and relatives. The remains were laid to rest in the Newville cemetery, the funeral services being held at the grave, with an eloquent and appropriate sermon. The pall bearers were G. Fletcher, L. Fletcher, C. Foreman, J. Cushman and Wm. Hayward.
A tribute to Mrs. Minnie Luce. She yet lives and speaks to us by her holy example. In her home she was a queen, because a loving faithful wife and mother, very few knew of her care, toils and sorrows of the past and which affected her health. The loss of her children were a heavy blow to her. Many were her callers, as she was unable to go out much from home. She was a true friend. The world ever calls for such holy lives, such characters.
But, bereaved ones, though her seat is empty, she lives; the Lord has exalted her with himself. Yes, and she is nearer to you in love, in power to do. Grant her, O Lord, the _____________ and deep lasting peace. A.H.
