well known and highly respected Tn

noiAicement of which brought forth

sort-ow. Mr. lowtit, Mrs. Joseph

Mrs. Lowrie left Takotna. in March.

Missoula, Mont., she underwent two

vhlch she declared herself greatly

ihle to travel to Ins A ngelos and j

months were snout visiting old-time
Alaskan friends. Following this visit,

she- returned her- a year ago last
June, seemingly in go-nt health, a
condition noted with pleasure Iw her
friends. She. of course, was none,-too
strong, owing to the operations she
underwent ‘on D-e : Outside, although
she1 was able, to take* care of every
household detail-up to a few days be
fore her death, a ad. as a matter of
fact it waA, only ;u feW days ago that
she? confploted-the planting of a gar

Two or-three da ye following the
■oxtlpleti jU, of her. work in the garden
it Was noticed that she became less
active, although seemingly in good
spirits. In th meantime the food
nourishment of which she was sup
posed to be partaking was practically
negligible.
Although not ivairaed by closest
friedds, ,so-gradual was the change,
the: moment of wasting away had ar
rived. On Tuesday evening it was no

late in tiie afternoon with Mr. Russell
in the latter's auto. In the meantime j
Mr. E. Miller, one skilled in medicine I
and in treatment of the sick, did
everything possible to give relief, but
all to no avail. At l:i6 a. m.—a lit
tle gasp, a slight flutter, and life had
flown.
Funeral services wore held Satur
day evening at 8 o’clock. Two hymns, i
“Rock of Ages” and “Nearer, My God, ’
To Thee,” of which Mrs. Lowrie was
very fond, were sung, the singing of j
which was led hy Mr. Le Roget and j
Mr. Miller. A. X. Grant made a‘
brief address as follows (printed hy
request):
“Ladies and Gentlemen: We
gather here tttrtay. dear friends, on
another sad occasion*-- that of pay
ing our last tribute*, t.o a departed
friend—Mrs. Robert E. Lowrie. She
has answered Death’s call.
“But. death, as remarked by me an
a previous occstt-n. i~- inevitable.
From it there is no escape. It is the
way of the world. It comes to all of
us—we know not whan, we know, .not .j
where, we know not how.
“And-so we have gathered here to
perform the last sad duties, the like
duties of which friends some day
will perform for us.
“Coming from her home land to
this country, a girl of 17, Anna
llagelin fought her way through
life's early years to womanhood.
About four years of this time were
spent in Arizona, a State to which
she often referred.
“Miss Hagelin and a sister com
panion were among those arriving at
Flat in 1910, and it was at that place
that she and Mr. Lowrie were mar
ried a few months afterward—a
union which proved one of the hap
piest and one of utmost devotion.
“Many a tear will be shed by old
timers and all those who came in
contact with her during the early
days of Flat. Her musical abilities
were of a high order, and. she was the
ltfe and one of the main spirits in
many social functions.
“Mis. ■ Lowrie. di*d in the faith.

death, while conversing with her only j

‘Complete Line of Gents’ Furnishings
a few days ago, the topic of the effi
cacy of prayer came up. I reverted
to the fact that the first prayer my
mother faught me often came to my,
mind and that not only through all
the years, but. even at this late hour
in life, I oftentimes found.tnyself re
peating that same little prayer,
“‘What was that, little prayer?'
she asked.
“1 repeated to her the prayer, with
out doubt one that each of you may
have been taught by your revered
mother, as follows^ ^
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord iny soul to keep,
And if 1 should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
“She told me she remembered it
very well. She told me she was a
firm believer in prayer and that on
retiring at night she never failed to
offer up a prayer of her own.
“I know not your belief on re
ligious matters, dear friends, and I
have no thought of obtruding my own
views on that subject, but as..for our
departed friend, I will say that her
thoughts of a hereafter were very
deep-seated. Yes, she...died in the re
ligious faith as taught her by her
mother.
“Yes, dear friend, you have gone.
You have run life’s course as best,
you knew how, and you have run
that course nobly. As a vounv
woman, after coming to this- country,
you were thoughtful and considerate
of your parents, your brothers and
sisters, back in the land of your
birth. To a husband you have been
everything that ai wife could he—
loyal, devoted, helpful, faithful, thru
a span of almost twenty years. To
your friends, of whom you leave so
many, you have bteen generous, kind
and most thoughtful. Yes, you have
lived your life well. What moi-e
could be expected of any noble
woman,
“To those who know the circum
stances of her illness and the manner
of her passing there are nothing but
the kindest thoughts and the highest
appreciation for her surviving mate.
For almost twenty years he gave her
the highest consideration and, showed
extreme ldelity and devotion, Ir this
trying ordeal our hearts and sym
pathies go out.to him to,the very
fullest.
“Anna Hagelin Lowrie, we consign
your body to the grave, vo.ur soul to
a just God, Who. rules over all. May
heaven be your reward.”
“THE USE OF ISLANDS/'
Here’s a little “prize essav” from
the “By-Products” column of the New
York Times:
“Islands are very useful. The Ger
man and Irish fliers found Greenly
island useful, and Captain Wilkins
found Dead Man’s island useful.
Greenly island is nea Labador and is
chiefly inhabited by a lighthouse
keepe and his family, who will have
to go very easy on their meals after
all the visitors have departed. Dead
Man’s island is near Spitzbergen,
which the Norwegians have renamed
Svalbard, thus adding to . the cost of
cable tolls. The fliers .are coming to
Manhattan island, which is another
very useful island for fliers. Mayor
Walker is always taking off from
Manhattan island and ^turning
thither. Manhattan island is fifteen
miles long, but it cannot be used for
a runway, because every fifty yards
the gas company is taking up the
pipes. Christopher Columbus landed
on San Salvador island. , end even
when he reached the American conti
nent he thought it was an island,
such is the prejudice of navigators,
whether by sea or air, in favor of
islands. Manhattan island was bought
from the Indians for $24. If the In

dians had sold it to the news-reel
companies they would have got S24,
000,000,000 for it.”
At McGrath, on Tuesday evening
last, wedding hells rang for Miss
Dora Konig, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Konig, and Robert Stone,
Following the wedding . a sumntuous
dinner was served at' the McGrath
Roadhouse. Two nights later a big
aance in honor of the event was held
at the roadhouse. Mr. and Mrs. Stone
left a day or so afterward for Mr.
Stone’s headquarters, up the Kusko
kwini, carrying with them the con
grations and best wishes of. their
many friends.
•lames Brown was among today’s
arrivals from McGrath.
