MRS. CHARLES uxAresr.

II Is with profound sorrow that we are
called upon TO record the death Of Mary
Applemau, wife Of Charles Unangst ESQ
which occurred Sunday morning at 1910
o'clock. For several weeks she had been
Ill from an attack of Inflammation OF the
bowels, and some anxiety was felt by her
friends on account Of her condition, but
DOT until Friday were any serious doubts
OF her recovery entertained. On Saturday
a telegram was sent 10 DIR. William Pepper
OF Philadelphia, but the reply came that he
was In Europe. Then DIR. DaOosta was
telegraphed to, but he was unable to come,
and sent In his stead DR.. Arthur V. Meigs,
who arrived here on Saturday at mid-nigh {.
A consultation was held by him with DIR.
j. b. McKelvy, her attending physician,
and on Sunday morning they again called
at o'clock While they were present
Mrs. Unangst had sinking spell from
which the combined efforts OF these two
eminent physicians could not rally her, and
she passed away,
The deceased was daughter of the late
Matthias Appleman. She was born in 1s48,
In this county, and spent her life here until
she was married in 1874 TO Charles
Unangst Esq since which time she has
resided in New York with her hush and.
She was sister OF Mrs. d. ]. Waller Jr.
and twin sister OF Mrs. A. z. shoch. She
also leaves one brother, Lloyd p. Apple
man, who resides 10 Denver and was un-
able to reach here in time for the funeral.
Mrs. Unangst was woman Of intelligence
refinement and education, and her amiable
disposition commanded the love and re-
spect OF all who knew her. She was the
picture Of health and, up to her last
Illness had not been sick in many years.
She came from New York few weeks ago
to spend the summer at her old home, as
was her custom, little dreaming that ere
the autumn leaves should fall she would
be summoned by the angel Of death. 1t
seems strange that so often in the wise
dispensation OF Providence those are called
away for whom life has 80 many attrac-
tions, and who are useful in their spheres,
while many are permitted to live on, who
are Of no use to themselves and Of no i'm
portsnce in the world, and no comfort to
anybody, but 80 it is, and we must not
complain. The bereaved husband has the
heartfelt sympathy of many friends
in his great afiliction, and the sorrowing
sisters in this dark hour have the consola-
tioD Of life well spent.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
morning at 1890 at the residence Of Philip
Uuangst on Third street, the services being
conducted by Rev. DR.. ]. B. Reimensnyd-
er, pastor of st. James Lutheran church Of
New York, of which the deceased was
member, and Rev. P. A. Heilman. DR..
Reimensnyie spoke very feelingly on tn e
| virtues Of the deceased, and OF her activ
church work in New York. The Ladies'
Society Of St. James sent beautiful floral
wreath, which rested on the casket. The
interment was in Rosemont,
