Last week we gave but a simple aDDOUcemeat of the sud- den and unexpected death of one of our best loved of women bee-keepers—Mrs. .' N. Heater, of Columbus, Nebr. This week it is with a sad heart that we record some of the partic- ulars concerning her departure, and somewhat of her devoted life and labors. Permit us to say that for much of our infor- mation we are indebted to the enterprising newspapers pub- lisht where Mrs. Heatsr'lived and labored. About three-montfis ago Mrs. Heater left her home to go to Kansas City, Mo., to spend the winter. She was apparently in the best of healv'a, and when on Saturday, March 13, a dis- patch was received that she had past away at 4 o'clock that morning, it created a ereat shock in the community where she was so well known and beloved by all. The funeral services were held at the family residence, Tuesday, March 16, the Rev. A. L. Mickel, of the Methodist church oCSciating, with hundreds of friends of the deceast pres- ent to pay their respects and extend condolence to the be- reaved husband. The particulars of the death are very sad. An operation had been performed on Mrs. Heater for some ailment, and was considered successful, but the administration of. the necessary anaesthetic had a bad effect on the patient's system, and she was taken down and continued to sink until the end. On Fri- day night, Mrs. Heater could not sleep, and towards morning, Mr. Heater, who was at her bedside, said to his wife: "Shall I sing to you ? Perhaps it will put you to ; The suffer- ing one nodded assent, and Mr. Heater softly sang a favorite song, and she seemed to drop into a gentle sleep, but, alas, the watching husband soon found to his sorrow it was the sleep of Death. Mrs. Heater was born in Defiance county, Ohio, March 5, 1866. Her maiden name was Annie E. Case. She came to Nebraska in with her parents
