GONE TO REST
Mrs. Malenda (consider Malinda a spelling variant) C. Ritchie departed this
life Wednesday, April 4, 1900, aged 58 years, 9 months and 25 days. She
lived a true Christian and died in the triumph of a living faith. None knew
her but to love her.(H)er beloved children are comforted with the happy
thought that she is safe with the Savior's army on the happy shore and while
we are mourning for her, she is singing the praises to her Redeemer in the
blessed region where death never comes and sad partings and farewells are
not known.
