 time, but her last sickness was not of long duration and in her last hours she was entirely unconscious of her suffering and passed away peacefully. Her life was long one and all who knew her know what that life has been, and sym pathize deeply with the mourning hus- band in the loss of one, who for 54 years was his constant companion. MT Stone and the relatives desire to express their gratitude to friends and neighbors who have been so kind, so sympathizing, so helpful in the hour when friendly help and sympathy is most acceptable. By singular co-incident Mrs Harvey Smith died on the same day, and at the same hour. She also has been feeble for long time but was sick in bed on- ly few days. Her age was 87. On Sunday, which was Mrs Stones 85th birthday, 8 double funeral took place at the Congregational church. First the remains of Mrs Smith were borne up the South aisle by her sons and grand sons; then after little delay the other procession moved up the North aisle, and it was strange sight, the two cas- kets placed close together. Rev Vorce in the course of his remarks said; these two had been children together and had attended school together, in after years they had lived apart for time but of late were near neighbors again: that the two lives had closed peacefully at the same hour and it seemed very proper that at the last solemn services they should not be separated. They were both very estimable christian ladies, had many warm friends and were high ly respected by all who knew them. The remains of Mrs Smith were inter- red in the cemetery near the church. Mrs Stone was taken to the North Kent cemetery.
