Mrs. Hannah Van Luven died at the Wallworth's Monday evening October 22d, 1888, of the dread disease small-pox. She was nearly 35 years old at the time of her death, having been born in Ontario, Canada, December 31st, 1853. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry D. West, and was married to Schuyler Van Luven about 15 years ago, and now leaves him and four young children to mourn her loss. There is something sad about the death of these young mothers. There is something inexpressibly sad about Mrs. Van Luven's death after convalescence had begun, after her weeks of faithful toil among the sick. If she had been a Roman Catholic the church would sanctify her memory among men. As she was a patient, loving mother, a faithful, tender nurse, a holy Christian woman, the Lord of Heaven will do a grander thing, and make her a saint among the angels.
