DIED:

        WACHSEN – In the city of Galveston, November 8, 1884, Rosalie Goos, wife of Capt. Harry Wachsen, and daughter of Capt. Daniel Goos of Lake Charles.
        When we see the babe torn from the loving arms of its mother we cry out in sympathetic pain with her. When the aged one is taken we mourn and long for the face and voice that can never return to us. But when a mother is called from the home where a husband and children's love are centered in her, then indeed is the sorrow heavy, and words cannot express our sympathy, we can only press the hand and whisper, "God comfort you." We knew Rosie in the happy days of her girlhood, and seldom have we known one more happy and joyous in disposition, always hopeful, making home pleasant and bright. As a wife, loving, true and helpful, as a mother, sacrificing and devoted; as a neighbor, kind, and ever ready to help, no matter under what circumstances. Sad indeed must be that home. Great indeed the void in the hearts of the bereaved ones. Let us pray that, in the "Home over there," we may meet again dear Rosie.
RELIEF.
