Cove, Union County, Oregon
One Saturday night of last week, Mrs. Belle Holmes, the young wife of Eugene Holmes, died at her residence in the Cove afeter a lingering illness. For many months Mrs. Holmes was a patient sufferer as the insidious nature of her disease, consumption, marked its fateful progress until at last the summons came and a devoted wife and loving mother passed away to the tongueless silence of dreamless dust.
The funeral took place on Monday afternoon attended by many friends, and relatives of the bereaved family to whom a silent sympathy is extended in their sad affliction.
