Death OF Mrs. Elizabeth Miller obrist

erly of Stark county. The folio wing is an
extract from the article:
Tuesday last, Mrs. Elizabeth Miller
Obrist departed this life at the family
residence on Adams street, in the 73rd
year Of her life. Mrs. Obrist was born In
Paris, Stark county, Ohio, December 25th,
1918, and was married to Mr.. Albright
Obrist, April 10th, 1887, thus completing
nearly 55 years of married life with her
surviving partner when death called her.
She spent the years of her life in this, her
native state, in 1850 making the journey
overland from the county of her nativity
to williams county, where the family took
I'D their residence where is now Bryan,
and where they lived until 1867, when
they removed to Toledo, where she has
since resided. Ten children were born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Obrist, seven Of
whom, with the husband and
father survive the mother. The
funeral services were held from
the residence Thursday afternoon, Rev.
A. G.. Jennings officiating. Flowers were
numerous and testified to the esteem in
which the departed was held by those who
knew her and her worth, q particularly
lovely testimonial coming from friends in
Cincinnati. Mrs. Obrist was essentially n
home mother and one whose endearing
and loving manner brought her close to
the hearts of her children, who suffer a
loss which, coming when the majority OF
them have touched the years of middle
life, loses none Of its severity and sorrow" :"

TO accept anything but her wages, de-

all to become his wife, though she had

that was sweetest to him whispered

He Was Neighborly.

Rev. j. Hyatt Smith says that when
he was living with his brother in But.

across the street.
We didn't see very much of him.
but one morning as we were ENJOYING
our cigars on the veranda, after break.
fast, we saw Mark come to his door
in his dressing-gown and slippers and
look over at us. He stood at his
door and smoked for minute. as if
making up his mind about something.
and at last he opened his gate and
came lounging across the street.
There was an unoccupied rocking
chair on the veranda, aud when nv
brother offered it to him he dropped
into it with a sigh of relief He
smoked for few moments and said:
mice morning. Shouldn't wonder
if we had rain by-and-by."
"Well, we could stand a little"
"This is nice house you have here"
Eyes, we rather like it,"
Flows your family ?"
VERY well-and yours ?"
ooh, we are all comfortable"
There was another Impressive
silence, and finally Mark blew puff
of smoke into the air, and in his lazy
drawl remarked:
81 suppose you're little surprised
to see me so early. Fact is, haven't
been so neighborly, perhaps, as I
ought to have been. We must mend
that state of things. But this morn.
