THE ANGEL OF DEATH.
One of the saddest accidents ever recorded occurred last Thursday
morning at six o'clock in our little city. One more happy home
has been broken up, one more devoted husband left lonely. One
more loving mother snatched rudely away, one more patient sufferer
relieved from her pain, one more earnest, pious Christian gone
to her rest. This heart rending occurrence belongs to that unhappy
list of accidents for which no one seems to blame. In the early
morning while engaged in her household duties, Mrs. BERTRAM,
wife of our fellow-townsman, Mr. Jasper N. BERTRAM, was
fatally wounded by the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands
of her little eight year old son, who had unhappily removed it
from its proper place while the attention of the family was engrossed
in other occupations. Drs. GARDINER and BOWERS were
immediately summoned but it was evident that the poor woman could
not long survive the wound. The ball, fired from a Winchester
rifle, struck the left side just below the heart, passing through
the top part of the stomach, coming out at the opposite side.
She lingered in great agony, retaining the full use of her mind,
for nineteen hours, and died, after blessing her husband and children,
at 1:15 o'clock on Friday morning. The funeral was held at the
family residence in the north part of town in the afternoon of
the same day, Rev. J. P. Fulton, conducting the services. The
remains were followed to the Richfield cemetery by a large concourse
of sympathizing friends, where they were laid away to await the
general resurrection.
Mrs. Mollie A. BERTRAM was born near Livingston, in Overton
county, Tennessee, April 2, 1844, and died Sept. 14, 1888, at
the age of 44 years, 5 months and 12 days. She married Jan, 1,
1866, her maiden name being GARRETT, to Jasper Newton BERTRAM,
near the place of her birth. They have become the parents of seven
children, three girls and four boys, all of whom are living save
two girls who died in their infancy. Two years after their marriage
they moved to Warren county, Kentucky, where they remained until
1886, when, owing to the wife's failing health the family moved
to Sumner and afterward to Morton county, Kansas, living at first
near Frisco, but after proving up a claim came to Richfield. Mrs.
BERTRAM was an upright, Christian woman, having been converted
at the age of sixteen. She was a consistent member of the Baptist
church, enjoying in this respect the fellowship of her husband
and oldest children. She was buried in Grand View cemetery, Rev.
Woodward, pastor of the M. E. church, preaching the funeral sermon
from the text: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of his saints."
