A large concourse of relatives and friends attended. In her death, New Florence loses a noble example of christian piety, a lovely character, beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She labored earnestly in the Master's vineyard and now enjoys her just reward.
OBITUARY
Miss Emma Davault The news of the serious sickness of Miss Emma Davault fell heavily upon our people last week. Saturday morning she passed from this life to life everlasting. Her sickness was brief and rather severe. A post-mortem examination revealed appendicitis and pertonitis. She realized the end as it approached and like Hezekiah of old, set her house in order by giving instructions as to her funeral and burial. Her life and character were exemplified in the request that what might be done should be for good of others and not for herself. Sunday afternoon in the Methodist church, before a very large attentive audience the final obsequies were held. Rev. Trotier delivered a splendid sermon -- to the living. Miss Emma was a great help to the Methodist church and Sunday school. She was an old member. Her life was but a reflection of those Christian virtues in which she believed and taught. She was a member of the Davault family so prominent in this country. She leaves a sister, Mrs. Chas. Bast, and four brothers, Jno. of Texas, Henry of Nebraska and Alf and Fred of this place, all of whom weep not as those without hope, for when mortal shall put on immortality, the glories of a never ending reunion will bless this family around the Throne in Heaven.
