Death of Mrs. William MOTE


   Mrs. William MOTE passed away yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at her home, No. 81 Eighth Street.  She had been suffering for three months from an infection of the stomach and liver, and her death had been sadly anticipated by the family for some time.  Her last moments were apparently free from pain, and the ending of her life was peaceful.  Miss Cordelia TURLEY was born in Carroll County, August 5, 1837, and was married to William MOTE, March 25, 1855.  The deceased resided at Battle Ground for some time, and had lived in this city for the last fifteen years.  A husband and two daughters, Mrs. Marcellus L. SMITH of this city, and Mrs. J.R. ROBINSON of Farmer City, ILL Survive.  Mrs. MOTE was a member of the Methodist Church for years and since her residence here has been a member of St. Paul's M.E. Church.  She manifested much interest in church work, and was ever willing to do her part to advance church work of every character.  Her life was spent in a quiet unassuming way, but was characterized by many generous and worthy acts.  She was an affectionate wife and mother, and was greatly attached to her home and surroundings.  She was highly esteemed as a friend and neighbor, and her death has brought sorrow to many hearts.  The funeral will take place at Battle Ground Friday morning at 11 o'clock and the remains will be interred in the Battle Ground Cemetery by the side of her son, who passed away some years ago.
