The death of Mrs. H.J. Plate occurred at about eleven o'clock Sunday forenoon. She had been suffering for some time with chronic troubles from which no relief was found. Mrs. Plate was 41 years old. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother and a good Christian woman, well liked by all who knew her. The funeral was held Tuesday from St. Mary's Catholic church where a large concourse of friends gathered to pay tribute to one whom they esteemed. She leaves a husband, two children and four sisters to mourn her departure. Her loss will be felt in social circles and in her church where she was an earnest worker. The Bee joins with the entire community in extending to the bereaved ones, our deepest sympathy.
