On October 3, 1910 at early dawn, while dear friends were anxiously watching with hearts torn and bleeding, Rose Lee Cottle, with a gentle pressure on her father's hand and a beaming smile, closed her eyes to earth and all earthly friends to awaken in the beautiful beyond.
With the assistance of physicians and trained nurse (her sister, Mrs. Efaw, of Wheeling) everything was done with untiring hands, yet each day she gradually grew worse. Her parents, W. S. and Flora Cottle, moved here form Wheeling, and while she was only permitted to remain with us one short year, her innocent look and pleasant smile won a host of friends for her.
The services were conducted by Rev. M. V. Bowles of Spencer in the M. E. Church South. She was converted and joined the M. E. Church South at Mannington in 1908 under the ministry of Rev. John Shordes. Yes, " The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken." While it is difficult for us to understand why God did not leave her with us, yet we know from past experience that "He doeth all things well."
[i](Rose, 16 year old daughter of Scott Cottle and wife, died at her home of typhoid fever.)
