  	Sulphur Springs, Tex., Jan 9. Mrs. N. N. Sansing of Union Settlement fell from her gallery, breaking several of her ribs and otherwise injuring herself so she died Tuesday. [Source: Dallas Morning News, Dallas, Texas, January 10, 1910] In Memoriam. Our hearts were made and last Wednesday morning, Jan. 5th, 1910, when we heard of the death of our beloved sister, (in Christ) Mrs. N. N. Sansing. The news was shocking, and oh! how sad. Her death was supposed to have been caused by a fall, that she received on Monday night before. Indeed, the neighborhood in which she lived is grieving over its loss. 'Tis hard to say good-bye to our friends and loved ones, but we are told in our Savior's word, that "In my Brother's house are many mansions, and I go to prepare a place for you." I am most assured that if we obey His commandments as Sister Sansing did, we will meet her in that sweet beyond, where partings and good-byes are unknown. Mrs. Sansing leaves a husband and ten children, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss. Although, it is our loss, heaven's great gain. So let us all live that we may share the joys of Heaven with her. [Source: The Sulphur Springs Gazette, Sulphur Springs, Texas, January 14, 1910, p 4]
