A Testimonial
By the death of Miss Mina Deutsch her many kinsman and friends are made aware that a noble, pure and loving woman has entered into the land of fadeless day. For many years she was afflicted with asthma, but her last illness extended over a brief period of seven days and she died April 28, 1926.
Miss Deutsch was a daughter of George and Hannah Deutsch and was born in Niles in a small frame house that stood on N. Front street, about where is now situated the business place of late Joseph S. Tuttle. When a young child she, with her parents moved in the house built by her father on St. Joseph avenue, where she has resided hitherto. She was a member of Trinity Episcopal church and was a devoted member.
Miss Deutsch was a woman of uncommon truth, fairness and character. Nothing was too arduous for her to do if it was right; nothing was done by her if it was wrong or contemptuous. Her good deeds were done in silence and came from a clean heart.
To her, death had no fears and it never does for those whose faith is strong and whose lives are guided by truth. Death should not be scorned; it is a door that leads to light and is wonderful. It is a necessary end and is nothing.
We are always mindful of the passing of our dear ones and cannot . . .[illegible]. . .our faith grows stronger and our griefs are overcome by the healing power of hope and love.
Miss Deutsch was a follower of her Maker. She was true. She was loyal. She was steadfast. Let this be her epitaph.
