DEATH OF MISS PAULINE vRAN-
IAN.

Miss Pauline A., daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. p. L. vranizan, died at the family
residence on Hanover street shortly be-
fore noon Monday. She had been sick
for about two weeks, and her life had
been despaired Of for several days past.
Her malady was cerebeal meningitis,
and was caused by over study. Miss
vranizan was young lady Of high, ner-
yous temperament, and hard study COM
bined with social demands and her 9TH
or work proved too great strain on her.
The best efforts Of Drs. Andrews and
Warner could not save her. The de-
ceased was born in Auckland, New Zea-
land, June IL, 1868. She came TO this
city from Rochester with her parents
about three years ago, and has since re-
sided here, attending the Normal school.
Miss Vranizan was young lady of high
social attainments, a fine musician and a |
skilled artist. Her fathers house con-
tains many fine paintings, the work of
her brush. She easily made friends who |
were devoted to her, and the circle of
her acquaintance is large one. Mr..
and Mrs. Vranizan and the bereayed sis |
tiers possess the sympathy Of the COM
munIty in this sad hour. 1t is hard
enough to part with one who has fulfilled
the allotted time of life, but when one
lust crossing the threshold of life is
stricken down it is doubly sorrowfnl.
The funeral of Miss Pauline Vranizan
occurred at 2 O'Clock Wednesday Alter
noon from the family residence on Han
over street. Rev. John Barbour, the new
pastor of the Presbyterian church, con-
Quoted the ceremony. A very large
number of friends were present at the
services, and the procession to the GEM

and street sweeper, - the last work done
" Miss Vranizan. .-"-...
The casket was very costly white one
With full glass cover. The face of the
deceased was perfectly natural and life
ike and had the appearance of one
allen asleep, except for the death pallor.
there were many callers throughout the
lay who dropped in to view the remains
md the splendid floral offerings and to
extend their sympathy to the bereaved
amily.
In the room containing the casket
here was scarcely anything which was
lot the work of Miss Vranizan's own
lands. whether painting or needlework.
The excellence of all the work gave
mute testimony of the remarkable abil-
ty of the young lady. She was also
quite linquist, besides being an excel
ent musician. The parents are we'll !
high heartbroken that the shadow of
Death should have stricken their 30
highly priced jewel and in the very
spring of her life line and certainly
nave the sympathy of the community
n their grief.
