"Jim,
God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come with me"
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A 'loving and golden heart'
You had stopped beating,
Gentle hands put to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
-Your mom, sister, children and friends."

Death of Mrs. HOSKINS

Her Long Suffering Terminates Thursday Morning

After a long and painful illness, Alice, wife of Gabriel HOSKINS, died at their residence in Reno at 6:40 o'clock yesterday morning. The deceased lady was, almost from her infancy afflicted with asthma, which, since about the first of the present years, was complicated and intensified by a severe attack of dropsy, which was the immediate cause of her death.

She was born in Sacramento, California, in 1859, and was the youngest of the well-know MCGINLEY family, the pioneer dramatic combination of Nevada, Idaho and Montana. She was married to Gabriel HOSKINS at Aurora, Esmeralda county, Nevada, in 1879. Since that time they have lived at Tuscarora, Elko, and Winnemucca, until about four years ago when they moved to Reno where they resided at the time of her death. Besides her husband she leaves a mother, who was residing with her, a daughter, a bright little girl of seven years, a brother, R.H. MCGINLEY, the well-known theatrical manager, and a sister, Mrs. Mary EGGLESTON, who resides in San Francisco.

Although an invalid for years, and in fact during the greater portion of her life, she maintained through it all a cheeful disposition, and even during the last six months, when her suffering was at times almost indescribable, her courage never faltered and she bore her afflictions with such patience and fortitude as is seldom displayed by the bravest sufferer of the sterner sex. Although conscious that the end was near at hand she manifested no fear or dispondency, and appeared only solicitous for the welfare and happiness of the dear ones she would leave behind. She frequently expressed her belief in a living God, and her confidence and reliance in His omnipotent power and mercy. Conscious of having well sustained her parts as a devoted and faithful wife, dutiful daughter, affectionate mother and sister and Christian woman, she calmly and cheerfully awaited the raining down of the last curtain on the drama of her terrestial [sic] life, and was fully prepared to accept the spiritual role assigned her by the Supreme Manager in the realm beyond the skies. Besides her relatives she leaves a host of friends who will sincerely mourn her departure, but who will find cnosolation in the assurance that her sufferings have ended, and that she has found eternal rest and a congenial home among the supernal glories and joys with the radiant throng in the land of the blest (sic).

The grief-stricken husband, who was ever watchful and careful for the every want of his invalid wife, takes comfort in the knowledge that nothing was left undone that would have added to the slightest pleasure or comfort of his beloved one, and that the inevitable summons came while she was resting peacefully in his arms.

Mr. HOSKINS has the sympathy of the entire community in this, his hour of deep affliction. Mrs. HOSKINS was a member of St. Margarets Guild and her funeral will be conducted in accordance with the rites of the Episcopal church.The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon next at 2 o'clock from the undertaking parlors.

He recently organized a juvenile band in Reno and was instructor of the young musicians when taken ill.

He came to Reno after the fire of 1890 and assisted in the building of the university gymnasium, in which he afterward instructed the University cadet band. During the past few years the deceased devoted nearly his entire time to music and was always a member of one of the local musical organizations.

In 1879 he was married at Aurora, this state, to Miss Alice MCGINLEY, who died on July 4, 1895. He was married a second time at Carson on April 20, 1899, to Mrs. Katie J. NELSON.
