Individual:
The following newspaper clippings from Wausau, Wisconsin werewritten in March1887, announcing the death of Eva Shaughnessy.Death of Mrs. Grout."On the 5th day of March, 1887, very early in the morning, Mrs.Eva Grout died at her home in this city. She had been ill forseveral months of consumption, and the breath of life thatstopped sp peacefully had been faintly wavering for many daysbefore it went out forever. But though her death had been thuscertain for so long, it was all too short a time for her lovinghusband and those nearest to say; "God's will be done."When the light of such a bright, joyous, lovable nature as hers,is taken from a home, it leaves a darkness that the moststeadfast Faith can not wholly dispel. And those friends whohave known and loved her all her life feel its dark shadow onlyjust less.Eva Shaughnessy was born at Wausau, August 3, 1858, and her homehas always been here. Her father died in the war of theRebellion, and her mother's death occurred exactly fourteenyears previous to her own. The only surviving member of herfamily is her brother, George Shaughnessy, of Janesville, Wis.,who was telegraphed for but did not arrive in time to see heragain in life.She was educated in the city schools and taught in the same forseveral years. As a pupil she was extremely bright and studious,and as a teacher she was very successful and uniformly beloved.There are many grown up girls and boys of Wausau who rememberher as the "best teacher they ever had."June 17, 1879, she was married to A. Horace Grout, of this city,and leaves to his care one little boy, six years old.A sweet, kind, unselfish woman and yet, withal, full of thehappiest vivacity and humor, - during her illness she neverchanged, but, to the last, was the same brave, tender soul -careful most of all lest her slowly approaching death shouldcast one shadow before its time.And so it was, that at her funeral there were many who mournedas for their own. The companions of her lifetime, who loved heras a sister, her neighbors, - all who had ever known her. Theycovered her coffin with rare flowers and made her grave fragrantwith evergreens, and laid her away to rest on a beautiful springday as fair and sunny as her own spirit.The funeral services were held at the house on Monday afternoon,at two o'clock, be Rev. J.S. Davis, under the direction orMessrs. R.P. Manson and D.L. Plumer. A very large number offriends and neighbors were present."At RestDIED. - In this city, Saturday, March 5, 1887, of consumption,Mrs. Eva Grout, wife of A.H. Grout, aged 29 years."Just as she had entered the vestibule of mature womanhood, whenthe skies about her were least clouded, when the sun shonebright and fair and its genial rays gave warmth and hope, thelamp of her life burned feebly for a time and then went calmlyout. Like a fragrant rose which, just as it reaches its fullestand most attractive development, yields to the icy breath ofsome untimely frost, so she yielded up her pure and stainlesslife, at a time when the future was most inviting.She was, in deed and in truth, what woman in her brightest andmost exalted state should ever be - the fond, loving and devotedChristian wife and mother. Hers was a home life, and she bentall her energies to make home the most attractive spot to herloved ones. She was long a sufferer from consumption, that felldisease which has strangely defied the skill and baffled theprofoundest wisdom of the broadest and most learned professorsof medical science. For many months she was doomed to an earlygrave, and oftentimes in the freedom of kind and familiarintercourse with friends, she refer to the fact, notcomplainingly, nor in a spirit of gloom or despondency, but asthough she must soon enter upon a long but pleasant journey intoan unknown country, and although she seemed to feel that shewould be reunited to the loved ones who had preceded her to the"sweet fields of Eden," where the suffering and the weary are atrest, her pure and loving heart would sadden with the thoughtthat she must part for a time with the dearest loved of earth,her husband and her boy, about whom her heart's purest andholiest affections were entwined."
