In Memoriam
On Saturday last, close on the confines of the Sabbath day, Mrs. Frank Headen departed this life. For almost a year she had been confined to her room, gradually getting weaker and weaker, and at intervals suffering the extremity of pain. On Tuesday her remains were conveyed to Calvary Cemetery, and temporarily placed in the receiving vault. In the coming spring the grass which will be green above her narrow bed, and the fragrant flowers which will be placed thereon by loving hands will speak fitly and sweetly of a life, that in the even tenor of its way, was a daily benediction to all encircled by it. The Evanston Index, December 30, 1876, page 3.
