Tribute to Mother

Once more upon these earthy stands
  The pale rider has drawn his rein;
He has bourne a soul to that better land
  Across Death' chilling main.
He has paused a moment in his flight
  And bourne the soul of mother
Away from changing scenes of this world
  To the unchanging scenes of another.
The morning hours, one by one,
  To shores of time drew nigh,
And mother's spirit plumed its flight
  From this house of clay to fly.
And at eight o'clock a ransomed soul
  Released from earth forever,
Sought that better land where no billows roll
  And sorrow cometh never.
Mother has gone to meet the Lord
  She served on earthly stand.
God grants you meet mother there
  In Heaven's better land.
Then weeping ones, as you lay her form
  Beneath the earth's cold clod,
In this hour of grief may you ever lean
  Upon the arm of God.
He guides and keeps you everywhere
  With ever-watchful eye.
And God grant you meet with mother there
  In Heaven bye and bye.
--Sacred to the memory of Eliza Annabel Taubman. Died April 22, 1929.

Mr. Taubman Dies in Sioux City Hospital

Death Resulted From a Fall Which She Received Ten Days Ago

  The sad news came to Schaller on Monday morning that Mrs. T. E. Taubman had succumbed to her injuries and had died that morning at an early hour in the Methodist hospital at Sioux City where she was taken Tuesday.
  Early the week before Mrs. Taubman received a fall from a lounge as she was attempting to wind the clock, which resulted in the fracture of a rib or two and also injuries in other ways which resulted in complications. Following the fall she grew worse and her daughters Mrs. Thorpe of Lake View and Mrs. Kimm of Pierson, came and it was decided best to take her to the hospital at Sioux City. Complications set in and it at once became evident her case was fast assuming a serious condition and the family was considerably concerned. Her injuries did not readily yield to treatment and it was quite apparent that her case was practically hopeless. To make it more distressing Mr. Taubman is seriously ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Kimm of Pierson, where he is being cared for.
  Funeral services are being held this afternoon (Thursday) at the Methodist church, with Rev. A. E. Buriff in charge.
