Alexander Wimberly of the Presbyterian church, using the Scriptural consolation of Isaiah 66:13, "As one whom his mother comforted, so will I comfort you." To those who were not fortunate in knowing the wife and mother, who, by her passing, has rendered another home in this city desolate, the mere fact that some one has died, means nothing, is nothing, but to those who knew this grand, good woman, to those who had been permitted the pleasure of her acquaintanceship, and knows what the loss is to the devoted father and children, that passing will hring profound sorrow.

When the shadows lengthened, despite the years of suffering, her only regret was the leaving of her loved ones; she was not afraid to die.

Frank Com stock

In the death of Frank Comstock, another pioneer of this section has passed on, and with that passing will come a feeling of sorrow to all who knew him. Honest, hardworking, and loyal to his friends with a most kindly disposition we really do not think he had an enemy in the world. Temperate in his hahits in all things, every one was his friend and there perhaps is no one who knew him well who cannot tell of some kindly act performed for them or others. He knew that he was going for some time before he died and as death approached he met it as he lived, calmly and fearlessly. The old soldier, settler, comrade, and friend has gone but behind him he has left the record of a man. Soldiers of the present conflict carried his body to the last resting place, and taps were sounded and while he was unconscious of all this, methinks that up yonder he has long since heard the welcome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord."
