Its subject, Miss IVVA BRAND, of Urbana, daughter of Mayor Bran d, and sister of Mr. W. A. Brand one of the editors of the Citizen and Gaz ette, was a young lady of wonderful personal qualities. Unknown to hersel f, she was a leader in the great Temperance movement in Urbana last winte r, and we sincerely believe that her whole souled interest in that work h ad much to do with the marked results of that movement. Indeed, at Urba na did what is known as the Crusade achieve its highest results. The decea ses was first in the filed and last to leave it; and as she was well kno wn in this city, and as the memoir, written by her brother, is well writte n, and intrinsically interesting, we copy it in full below:

Letitia E Hackney Happersett (1862 - 1943)
Will Book L pg 448 probated 8/25/1910 Urbana Twp late Cincinnati ; died 7 /11/1910 Heirs; Royal Happersett, bro- Leeds, ND;
Memoir Ivva Brand died at her home, Saturday evening, February 27, 1875, at the a ge of eighteen years and four months. She was the youngest daughter of H on Joseph C. and Lavinia Brand, and the youngest child of a family of elev en. Her experiences of the world were much beyond her years, and the finis hed education of her life was much brightened and made more effective to h er purposes by contact with varied peoples and changing climes. An inna te love of the Beautiful instructed her eyes and vision to the great wor ks of art and the grand scenes of landscape and mountain and valley of Eur ope and America, expanded her mental powers to a high degree of cultivatio n. Modest and reserved in all things, her strength of character and mind w as known only to her family and more intimate friends, though every acquai ntance saw in her acts the thoughts of a most lovely child. No subje ct of the worldus interest was ever brought to her notice upon which she d id not form and express an opinion, and so clear, concise and rapid were h er conclusions and decisions, that she seldom erred in these judgments. Al ways at an opportune moment were heard those opinions, which would frequen tly startle the minds of her friends, and always carried weight with th em without the force of argument. Her mind was a true model of that perfec tion which may be attained by a strict discipline, self-imposed; for no re straint has ever been inflicted upon this, the youngest, loveliest, trues t, and best. Two great attributes attached themselves to her heart and ma de her magnet of love to all with whom he came in contact. These were: Aff ection for her family and love for her Heavenly Father. Never for a mome nt did she forget to pour out the quiet love of a heart brimming over wi th joy and gratitude and none could but feel it. Not demonstrative, but o ut of the eye and in the words carried the tell-tale story of her love a nd affection. Under the light of a good motherus example she grew into wom anhood, and into conscious enjoyment of a Christian experience. She h ad no experiments, but walked the path of righteousness for her Masterus s ake, and with a hope that fears not, faulters not; and needs no mercy. S he suffered, and enjoyed the parallel between her sufferings and those th at ended on the cross; and the soft, bright sunshine that fell upon her he art was always a clear token that God had proven her. She had been an inva lid nearly a twelvemonth, and exhibited throughout the time an unequaled d egree of fortitude and patience. Never had she uttered a complaint, or mur mured against the providence of God, in visiting pain upon her. She rejoic ed in the promise here told: SIn the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou are precious in His sight: God is with the God, thine everlasting light!T Death placed his icy finger upon her brow two days before the final dissol ution, and while she knew he had claimed her for his own, in those slow a nd tiresome moments, her spirit was lead on, and on, to the supreme eminen ce of earthly glorya triumphant victory over the shadows, and sorrows, a nd tears, of a death bed. Two days of sleeplessness, strength wasted wi th flesh, she grew weary, and wearied into exhaustion but uttered no murm ur of complaint. Tired she wanted rest; but there was no sleep for her sa ve in that sleep of death. There was constantly with her a greater presen ce than suffering, and her mind held and fed upon a greater philosophy th an science can herald. Pain had forsaken her, and her only suffering was t hat terrible weariness. Out of this most horrible feeling she looked wi th clam and dignified composure, and sweetly said, SChrist suffered!T Years ago she formed an idea that she had a mission to fulfill on earth, a nd it was consoling to her to believe it to be the care of her aged parent s. During her protracted illness she had a strong faith in recovery, th at her mission might be fulfilled. When she saw the approach of death, a nd felt the early hope of her mission fade away, she looked for other wo rk that must have been appointed to her to accomplish in the end of her mi ssion. Almost as the star in the east, her work rose up before her, and be came as distinct upon the clear sky as was that star to the wise men, a nd she followed it. Three weeks before, she had confided to her mother a message for one of h er brothersone who was out of the pale of church discipline and not devot ed to active Christian duties of life. Friday evening, twenty-two hours be fore her death, she called for that brother and requested the messa ge to be delivered. The brave , heart-wrung mother could not tell it ther e, and it was communicated in a distant room. This was the message: SHow fondly she had loved the delaying brother; how her affection for h im was stronger, more intense that for the others, because of solicitud e; how an abiding faith in Christ had sustained her and comforted her thro ughout her affliction and made her lover her family and be good to them. A nd she asked him to seek and find and depend upon in every hour, that Chri st who had given her such peace and such happy days.T The brother came to her side with a heavy heart, for he loved her as his o wn soul, saying: SMy darling Ivva, the message is delivered.TTThe promise !TOn the promise! she cried. And fondly kissing her questioning fa ce he gave her the promise. The face beamed with the glory of her joys he looked angelic, as she gasped and gurgled out the words: SThank you! O h, tank God! Bless you, my dearest brother!T That joy was so awfully gre at to her that she trembled in every nerve, her eyes almost glittered wi th satisfaction ,and a halo of magnificent beauty seemed to wreath her he ad as she called to her eldest brother, SOh, Pray! Pray!T And the eldest k nelt in the large circle around her bed and offered a beautiful prayer f or her glory and for their trust. The she said, SOh, you have made me so h appy---youand youallOh, I feel like I could almost get well again.T Steadily, through the long weary hours of night she approached the ho ur of departure. Each hour found her weaker, but the concentration of t he great glory of her life grew more intense. At five ouclock Saturday eve ning, nothing remained of action but a clear voice, a clear intellect, a nd rapid respiration. When she could no longer find relief in caught, s he said to their mother, SI can not breathI must die!T Placing her ha nd on her throat, she asked Dr. Goddard, her attending physician, SWh at is this?T He said, SIvva, you know you are dying, donut you, dear?T S he asked immediately, SHow long?T Choking down the struggling emotio ns of his heart the Doctor saidTYouure almost home. Itus only a little wh ile.T Who of us is so brave, or who has the philosophy of science so tru e, as to receive that announcement without a tremor of fear? That chi ld of Faith feared not, but smiling as one who ascends a throne to reign a nd govern, she raised her eyes to his and replied: SThank you! Thank yo u! Bless the lord for rest!T She had reached the summit of her greatness and she made her appointmen ts composedly as one who sets her house in order. Nothing was forgott en in the hurry to death. Calling her physician she thanked him for his care and attention. Kind fri ends who during her sickness and in her last hours were with her ministeri ng to her, were given her warm thanks and Godus blessing. One by one the f amily approached, and from each was exacted a promise to meet her in heave n. As she kissed her father, dearer to her than life itself, she said Sdon ut cry!T Weull meet above!T Through is tears he answered, SYes, daughte r, youure almost there.T One brother approached, and she made the wonderfu lly significant remark: SThere is the One!T The youngest brother in-law stooped and received a la st word from her, kissed her fondly, bade her good-byeand then she sai d, SMy work is finished!T and looking up into her brave motherus eyes, wi th a slight wave of her hand, sweeping the entire family gathered there, s he eontinuedTMy Mission! An unbroken family in Heaven!T Her mission was accomplished un unutterable glory, and from the topmost he ight of spiritual greatness, she reached out her hands and was welcomed in to Heaven. Christ had led her on. SThere have the souls of our beautiful ones gone, Over the shadows of death ts river; We shall behold them and call them our own, Sharing their glories forever.
Many of our readers were acquainted with Miss Ivva Brand, (daughter of t he Hon. Joseph C. Brand, of Urbana,) a very excellent and amiable young la dy, who recently died, and they will read, with great interest a most tou ch memoir, written by her brother, (one of the of the Urbana Citizen and G azette,) which we reprint in to-dayus paper. No one whether a frie nd or an utter stranger can read the article without being greatly move d. The family of the deceased my feel assured of the affectionate and symp athizing remembrance of many friends here and elsewhere.
Deathus Doings Miss Ivva Brand, youngest daughter of Hon. Joseph and Lavinia Brand, di ed at her home in Urbana, last Saturday evening, February 27th after a lo ng and painful suffering, in the 19 year of her age. Ivva was the youngest of nine children, and perhaps, the most patient of t hem all, for she had been in poor health for several years. It is said th at experiences of the world add much to the refinement of education and t he teachings are such that it leaves an impressive stamp upon the mind, a nd brightens up the intellect; so with little Ivva. She had been an attentive observer of all the notable things, both anima te and inanimateof this world, and her life study was to learn, not so mu ch for her own good as the good of others, so that she could, at a glanc e, give an opinion worthy of the brightest consideration for the benef it of all with whom she become intimate. She always, through life, though she had a special mission to perform; a nd , until within a few hours of her death, supposed it was to live to tea ch all to love and cherish, as she had learned to do; but her mission w as to meet her own dear family around her death-bed and bid each one good- by, and ask them to meet her in Heaven. Several years ago she, with her mother and an elders sister, embarked f or Nuremburg, Bavaria, one other the German States, where her father was l iving; he being at the time United States Consul. When she arrived in th at country she was to able to speak a work of the German language, bu t, in an incredible short time, she learned to speak, read and write the t ongue. While there she formed a large acquaintance and made may friends. N ow, that she has gone to her Heavenly home, let us profit by her example a nd finally meet her there.
Little Ivva! She is gone, From earth her soul has risen To take her place with other friends, Who dwell above in heaven.
Gentle and kindhearted, With sympathy for all SDon tt weep, Ium happy. It is my Maker ts call.T
Her memory will be cherished By friends here and abroad; She ts gone away with angels to dwell, Called by the voice of God.
Rest sweet angel one, Free from sorrow and care; Let us follow her example And happily meet her there.
She was a kind-hearted, gentle being; always ready to lend a helping ha nd to the poor and unfortunate; and giving advice with such earnesty of pu rpose and knowledge, that was remarkable for one so young. She was a gre at lover of her father, mother, brothers, and sisters, and her Heavenly Fa ther.

He said to a correspondent that Vice Preside nt Morton had undoubtedly purchased his way to office by his wealth, and t hat Postmaster General Wanamakerus money had given him his position, altho ugh Wanamaker did not contribute it for that purpose.
