Do You Want

MRS. MARY A. PYLE, wife of Thomas
Pyle, Esq, of Colerain township, after a
lingering and painful illness, died at an
early hour on Thursday morning. De-
ceased was the sister of the aged Josiah
Watson, of Colerain township, and the
twin sister of VIM. Howard Watson, a
San Francisco banker, and was born in
Gloucester county, New Jersey. Decem-
Der 30, 1910. In the fall of 1887 she
came with her brother Josiah to this
county, to the home where she has since
lived and died. In 1910 she was married
to Thomas Pyle, who survives her, and
to whom she was a faithful wife and
constant companion. Mrs. Pyle's life
was devoted to alleviating the wants of
the needy around her. She was gener-
Gus hearted and ever ready to do an act
of kindness, and as her body was laid in
the quiet little family cemetery at Bar
tons, on Friday, many a tear marked the
deep grief experienced by those who had
been the recipients of her bounty. The
bereayed husband and brother have the
warm sympathy of the community, as
was attested by the large number Of
friends who gathered to pay last trib
ute to the memory of her whose lift
had gone out from among them.
