   Mrs. Rebecca Kreps, for many years a resident of this city, passed away Wednesday morning after an illness covering many months. The end was due to cancer of the stomach which malady had made the suffering of the decedent intense in the last weeks of her life. Her only living brother and son were with her at the time of her death.
   The funeral services were from the Louther chapel on Friday afternoon and burial was made in Riverside cemetery.
   Mrs. Kreps was born in Liberty, Pennsylvania, in 1856 and came to Montana first in 1885, visiting at that time and returning later to live here. In 1895 she was married to Albert Kreps of this city whose death occurred two years later. With her son, born shortly after her husband's death, Mrs. Kreps faced her lot smilingly, and stayed on in her home her husband had provided in preference to going to relatives who urged her to come to them. The passing years found her always busy and cheerful, faithfully performing the tasks that came to her day by day.
   Mrs. Kreps was of a retiring disposition and well known to a comparatively small circle of friends in the last years of her life, as ill health kept her close to home. However, all who knew her were impressed by her innate kindliness and goodness of heart that manifested itself in her contact with friends and she will be missed by those who enjoyed her acquaintance. The sympathy of the community goes out to her only son.
   Mrs. Krep's brother, C. P. Brousious, of Yakima, Wash., the only survivor of a family of eleven, who has been with his sister the past five weeks, started Saturday on his return trip west.
