KENDALL Botts	Mexico Weekly Intelligencer, Thurs. 2 Feb. 1888, Page 5, col. 2 Obituary Died, January 22 (28), 1888, at her fathers's home, Mrs. Ruth Botts, daughter of S. E. Kendall and wife. Mrs. Botts had been very low for a long time, but for a few days before her death had shown symptoms of recovery; and the family and friends were rejoicing that she was getting well. On last Thursday she was reported worse. She continued to grow worse until Saturday morning, at three o'clock, when she breathed her last, and the loving heart ceased to beat. She was married last spring to Thomas Botts, Jr., one of Audrain's most prosperous young men. He lived happily with his young and beautiful wife, only a few short months, when that dread monster, death, laid his cold and icy hand upon his loving bride, and now she is numbered with the dead; no, not dead, but transformed from mortality to immorality--from this world of sorrow, pain and death, to a land of joy and peace forever. Mrs. Botts was one of the most consistent and conscientious Christians we ever knew, and we would say to the broken hearted husband, thefond and doting father, the kind and indulgent mother, the sorrowing brothers and sisters, weep not, for Ruth, the affectionate wife, the loving and dutiful daughter, the tender and sympathetic sister, you never more on earth will look upon that beatfiful form you loved so well, never more on earth will you hear that sweet, melodious voice singing praises to God. But be ye ready when the Lord says come, and you shall see her as she is, never more to part from her. Then Let us, Like sister Ruth, be ready so we can say, "come, welcome death, thou end of fear, I am ready to go." The remains were interred in the cemetery at Littleby Baptist Church, Sunday at one o'clock. Rev. N. S. Johnston preached a very feeling and eloquent sermon. O. G.
