OBITUARY: 
Died in this city, Sunday morning, February 21, 1892, at 3 o’clock, Mrs Emma Shank, wife of Samuel Shank, of la grippe, aged 37 years, 10 months and 18 days. Mrs Shank was an invalid for a number of years, bearing all patiently and without a murmur, until she was relieved of her suffering by a severe attack of la grippe which hastened her death. She leaves a kind and devoted husband, and two daughters, fifteen and twelve years of age, to mourn her untimely loss. She was married to Mr Shank in December of 1875, her maiden name being Brunk. They have been residents of Independence for several years, and her many friends will be grieved to learn of her death. Rev Bonnell of Monmouth preached the funeral in the Christian church last Monday morning at 10 o’clock, when the remains were taken to the Rickreall cemetery for interment, where the concluding ceremonies were held. May she rest in peace, until the sound of His trumpet call shall awaken all at the resurrection morn.
