As she was loved in live by all who knew her, so in death is she lamented.
"The memory of the just is blessed".  At her funeral a sermon was preached by her pastor from Luke ii 29, "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to they word.

Mother! to us thy children, thou wert dear,
But however dear, - thou art gone to rest
The mem'ry we'll cherish - the Redeemer
Obey, that we, when our pilgrim days shall
End.  Thy Glory may share - Thy god adore.

Frank Hale, manager of the Lake Shore telegraph office at Nottingham, Ohio, spent the Sabbath with his parents in this place.

We regret to learn that Miss Anna,  youngest daughter of E. Tinney, is so dangerously ill that there is but little hope of her recovery.

Mrs. Clarence E. Richardson of Ashtabula, died Saturday afternoon at Charity hospital, Cleveland, of acute peritonitis.  She has been an inmate of that institution for the past twelve weeks, receiving medical treatment, and was supposed to be recovering.  The announcement of her death was unexpected.

We are in receipt of the Burton, Kansas, Real Estate Guide, a Journal devoted to the farming interests of that section of the state.  In it we find a view of the farm and farm residence of our old friend, J.

The Geneva Times devotes a column of space in detailing the arrest of the persons who killed the horse in the Congregational church sheds and attempted to burn the edifice some two years ago.  The parties arrested are Clark Alliman, the owner of the horse, and John Evarts.  Their punishment should be swift and that the full extent of the law.
