The funeral of Miss Maud Smith took place
at the residence in Moscow on Thursday af-
ternoon. The house was overlooking with
friends and ~neighbors in full sympathy with
the afflicted family. A great display of beau
tiful flowers was provided, a fitting emblem
of the sweet and beautiful life which had gone.

er Bank cemetery, and the lifeless remains of
the loved one were actually buried in flowers.
The very sad intelligence of the sudden
death of Mrs. Benton j. Harris, of Gibbon,
Neb., is mentioned in the Gibbon Reporter of
Sept. 4, as follows: On Monday at noon our
village was startled at hearing of the very
sudden death of Mrs. L. j. Harris. She had
been assisting will the housework until about
IL O'Clock, when she employed the time until
dinner was ready in reading. At the dinner
table she decided to accompany Mr.. Harris
to the ranch in the afternoon. After eating
a hearty dinner she started up stairs to pre-
pare for the journey. When she reached the
head of the stairway she was seized with
blood-spitting, and called Miss Angie Mercer,
telling her to call her husband. Miss Mercer
rushed out after Mr.. Harris, who had gone
to the barn for the team, and told him Mrs.
Harris was dying. Bert Sprague, who had
just driven up, was dispatched at once for
Drs. Steere and Henderson, but before they
arrived the unfortunate woman was dead.
Possibly not more than two minutes elapsed
from the breaking of the pulmonary artery,
which was the cause of death, until she died.
The event is a sad one and will bring sorrow
to the many who were her friends in this com
munity. The funeral services were held at
the house, Rev. Jos. Smith of the Baptist
church conducting them. The body was de-
posted in Riverside cemetery by the side of q
child of hers who had previously died. Mrs.
Harris came here with her husband about
eight years ago, and had lived in our commu-
nifty ever since. The dear wife leaves a kind
and loving husband and little boy, Robbie,
to mourn her loss. She was at the time of
her death SO years and s months old. The
Reporter extends its sympathy with that of
their many friends, to the bereaved relatives
Mr.. Harris was formerly from Stowe, and is
a son of our townsman, Geo. A. Harris.
