ment Saturday last of the very sudden
death of Mrs. s. p. Avery, who, only a
lav or two before, was present ut the
uneral Of ~ near neighbor, assisting in
The cares connected withathe same. Fri
Iay evening she entertained several of
her friends who called in to congratulate
her and her hu:blnl upon the occasion of
heir twentieth marriage Anniversary
Saturday morning she attended to the
luties of the house in her usual health,
was conversing freely with her husblnd
tnd children but moment before she
expired With the exception of II slight
pain in her stomach, she seemed in her

fulness as the most he ,lthy, and ere she
had reached her home the sad news of
her death flashed over the wires. BY her
last husband she leaves two promising
children to mourn her loss, one son aged
q years and daughter Is years. Mr..
Avery by a former wife has three children
living in the distant west to whom this
sad news will bring heavy grief. For Mr..
Avery we can but say, Poor old mani
the sunlight has gone out from his home
The support upon which he had no ped to
lean as he jodrneyed along down life's
pathway is broken; alone he must watch
and wait until be, too, is summoned
this to another life. Alone,
yet he is not alone; the
