When the girls came home, pretty, refined, intelligent, educated, and the strong young men, blessed with all the new ideas of their time, the mother was a worn-out, faded old woman." The children went their own way, had their own homes, their own interests, and the poor mother was neglected. Things went along in this way for several years until finally she was attacked with serious brain trouble, aggravated, no doubt, by disappointment, a sense of loneliness and a lack of appreciation from her children which she had always fancied she would get in her old age.

The shock woke them to a consciousness of their neglect. They all rushed to her assistance in her last hours, and, in an agony of grief, hung over her as she lay unconscious. One son, holding her in his arms, said to her, "You have been such a good mother to us." The mother's face showed a little color. Once more she opened her eyes and whispered, "You never said so before, John," then the light died out of her eyes and she was gone, leaving her children, sobbing, conscience stricken. They piled flowers high on her coffin and gave her a costly funeral.
