The announcement OF the death of Miss
Margaret Thomson of Summit avenue came as
a shock to her many friends in every part OF the
city. Not yet twenty years or age, gifted with
and a ~nalneiess charm OF manner that made her
a welcome guest wherever she might appear,
one can but think how much lay before her.
Miss Thomson had been i'll for many months
with typhoid fever, although she was recently
considered out of danger. Her enfeebled con-
stitution could not bear the strain. her lungs
became affected and consumption brought about
the end. Miss Thomson was for some time
organist OF the Westminster Presbyterian
Church, and closely connected with both.congre
cation and Sunday school. She was a graduate
of the Jersey City High School Glass of 1891,
and the Alpha Sigma, the girls society of the
school, attended he. funeral, which took place
yesterday, in a body, the first time they have
bsen called upon to perform this sad duty. The
Rev, Israel Hathaway read the service, and
spoke in touching tones of the fair young life so
soon brought 10 a close, and the members of the
church filled to overlowing the residence of her
parents, at No. 341 Summit avenue.
The Rev. DR., j. C. Emery of the East Con
gregational Church, Brooklyn, has accepted q
| call to the Waverly CONGREGATIONAL Church. He
