Ora Mao Snavely passed away at. 10 minutes to 7 o'clock Wednesday Tbe tidings of her death, while received with profound regret, caused no surprise. For several daya her life, was sustained by a slender thread and only the faintest hope was entertained for her recovery. Her family and friends had bedn prepared for "tho worst for some time. Her health began to fail several years ago, but her fatal illness dates from last December.

Sbp made a trip cast, spending several months visiting relatives In and elsewhere. Her real, mission was in a measure successful and when she It "appeared that her health had been greatly improved. But subsequent events proved that the Improvement was only temporary nufl last year her health again began to decline. A few days before Christmas her affliction serious symptoms. However, she was patient and uncomplaining and assisted In filling the homo with good cheer and Christmas spirit on Clfrlstmas day On the day following sho was compelled to take to.her bed from which she was never again to rise.

She submitted to four operaUons as a forlorn hope. All the love, the care, the anxiety and solicitude of family and friends and the best medical skill and experience were unavailing and her suffering was mercifully ended in a peacefuPand placid death at the hour above named. The funeral will take place on Sim- riiiy. Services will be held In the M. B.

and Mrs. Suavely. When she was ten or en years of nge the family removed to Woodland, located in their- present home- niid-Oias resided there ever since. Miss Snavely attended the public schools earned tho love and re- Rlicsit of teachers and schoolmates by tho gentleness of her disposition and her studious habits. After graduating (Yom the grammar school she entered the Woodland Business College, whore Kba enjoyed the reputation of being an student and thorough In everything sho attempted to master.

After iRraduating with honor she was employed by 13. M. Miller, dry goods merchant, and inter receiving a more ad- vnntivgnoun offor from B. Cranston, she accepted it. It waa while she was so engaged that her health began to fail and sho was' persuaded to take a vacation and an eastern trip, with her uncle, John Suavely, with a view of restoring it.

Upon her return she was induced to abandon all Idea of a business career, and sho made her home with her parents, and it was in the family circle that tho noblest traits of her character shono with the greatest sploudor. Miss Suavely recognized tho demand 1 for a higher culture of the race. Tho esthetic element of her nature was very pronounced, and she loved music, art and all the highest forms of culture that give full expression of power and beauty "to ideal life. Her accompllsk- monts were varied and she admired all that is beautiful in nature and in human llfo. Affection and faithfulness to parents and brother made her a queen In tho home, and candor, sincerity, conscientiousness and gentleness in all her re, latlons with her friends bound them to her by tlea that oven death cannot sever.

Is: her dally walk in life there was 1111 HI 11111111111IM convincing evidence that Boul-culture may be aeqiijred In the duties and affections of the home. She was a central figure in a family bound together by love and her Ideals of personal purity and a nobler type of womanhood gave, her an exalted Idea of her duties as a responsible member of tie social body. Miss Bnavely was a dovout member of the M. B. church South, and a living practicing example of the ennobling influence of Christianity upon mankind.

The purity of her lite was tho garb of her glory, Hera was the piety that makca home cheerful and home- life beautiful and exemplary, and at tho same time purifies the heart and mind, elevates tho morals" and uplifts womanhood. It was the scepter of her power to do good and exercise a wholesome influence In any noble cause. Not only WHS her daily life an example of rurity but she was adorned with, tie jewels of patience and perseverance. It was these attributes that gave her nobility of character which no shadow can eclipse. They won for her a crown of laurel, notwithstanding the end came almost upon the threshold of life.
