We learn from Mr.. Humphrey that
Mrs. p. 5. Church. of Sugar Island, Chip
pewa county. died short time ago. Mrs.
Church was an estimable woman. and is !
one of those whose presence will be sad
ly missed, not only i'm her own house
hold, but by the entire section of cOun-
try, for she was, with her husband, one
OF the promises of that county. We
deeply spmpathize with Mr.. Church in
his deep affiiction. The notice of her
peath Willie regretted BY hundreds who
have shared her hospitality, for probably
there was not woman ia Northern
Michigan who. WAS more generally
known.
