  EDGOOSE, Harriet late COCKER now RIGGALL (1858-1916) A Letter at 67 Forest Road, Loughborough, dated 24 May 1911 to her sister ELIZABETH STROHMEIER (formerly EDGOOSE, 1852-1944) in Aberdeen, South Dakota, USA: "My Dear BETSY Your Cable telling me Sister MARY passed peacefully away on Sunday morning reached me on Monday morning about eight o'clock. It came as a great shock for I did not know that she was sick I am thinking that she was with you when she died & comforting myself with the thought that you have given her every care I seem to have heard so little of her since she went back after spending that happy year with me. I did enjoy having her & she was such a help with the children & in the home in every way. She has live a very useful & a most unselfish life & I have no doubt but that she was glad to pass on to the real life, that is the only thing that can compensate for the many sad and hard things that is the ...... of all here who live & do unto others as they would have others do to them. I hope you will send me all the particulars of where she has been & how she has been & what form her last sickness took, & where she is buried and who buried her. MAMIE & her youngest child were here when we had your cable DAVID & his wife & one child were here last Friday & you all seemed in our minds MAMIE had said when her children are a little older she & her husband intend taking a trip, to visit you all, MARY stayed with MAMIE in London & STANLEY MAMIEs husband thought MARY was such a fine tipe of a woman. Our children loved her very much, PAUL said just before he went to school this Easter Mother do you think Aunt MARY will come & stay with us again when we go back to Malta House, she was so good to us children. We are only three left now out of the eleven children of our Parents, Mother said she was certain that we should all be with her in the place Christ went to prepare for all who follow Him. I have been very sick all winter & one of my lungs is in a very bad state, I have to be very careful & I may not be allowed by the Drs to stay in England during next winter we go back to Malta House Alford on the first of August. I shall hope for a letter from you as soon as possible. With love from us all to all of you I am your ever loving sister HARRIET"
