Mrs. Ann Smith,

AS brie fly announced in The Dem
ocrat of last Friday, Mrs. Ann Smith,
relict of the late James Smith, died
on Thursday morning, Aug. 10; aged
79 years.
The deceased was born in county
Leitrim, Ireland, and came to Amer
ica at an early age. She was among
the first residents of Mineral Point.
She came here in 1888. Her maiden
name was Ann McSherry. Although
we'll advanced in years she was in
good health until about two or three
years ago since which time she grad
ually failed until death came as a
happy release from her earthly cares
and suffering. The funeral took
place on Saturday morning, with ser
vices at St Paul's Catholic church,
upon which occasion the pastor, Rev.
James O'Koefe, preached most ell
oquent sermon. He spoke touchingly
of the deceased, who had almost at
tanned to the age of four score years,
as faithful, industrious woman,
most kind as neighbor and friend,
and true to her duties.
At the close of the service the body
was laid at rest in st. Paul's Gem
etery. Deceased leaves to cherish
her memory three daughters and three
sons: Mrs. Catherine McGuigan, of
Chicago; Mrc. Mary Burns, Of La
Crosse; Mrs. Rose I.eahy, of Marion,
Iowa; and William H, James A. and
Thomas Smith.

afflicted US. we will cherish in memory the
| name and labors of our departed sister; that
as she was eminent for her devotion to her
home, yet not forgetful of the claims of
humanity; as she fulfilled with fidelity
all the duties devolving upon her in the
various relations of life; as she made home
the centre of love and generous hospitality;
as she was unfaltering in her love for the
church and its work; as she sympathized
with the afflicted; as she willingly succored
the distressed; as she gave abundantly and
unselfshly of her best gifts; as she served
her country in all helpful womanly ways;
ever obeying the injunction, Do with thy
might whatever thy hand find to do" so
will we emulate her virtues and the manifold
graces of her Christian character, that her
memory shall be to us a constant incentive
to higher thought and nobler living.
Resolved, That we tender our sincere SYM
pathy to the family and friends of our de-
parted sister, and pray that God, from whom
alone, all comfort comes, will grant unto
them in this hour of sorrow His unspeakable
peace.

sincere esteem for our sister as we'll as Il
token of sorrow at her loss our charter be

o OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS: a:

To OUR FRIENDS AND PATRoNs:
We have been led to secure this en-
ment, not through any apparent lack
of confidence our patrons have had in

fullest extent, and the above guarantee
seems to us wholly unnecessary, but we
do not want to leave room for the
slightest doubt or uncertainty in the
minds of any of our customers. We
are amply able of ourselves to make
good every dollar deposited with us,
and feel certain, with the addition of
this guarantee, that all customers, and
any who see fit to intrust to us their
business, will feel entirely safe.
Thanking one and all for past
favors, Yours truly,
JAS. HUTCHINSON & Sons.

Mrs. J. Montgomery Smith.

4G mlQnlgnC on Wednesday, Au
gust 9th, 1898, at her home in thi
city, Jennie Milton, wife of Hon. J
Montgomery Smith, passed into ever
lasting rest.
Mrs. Smith was a native of Boston
Mass, and daughter of DIR. Sweet
For many years she has been a res.
ident Of this city, and in many ways
she has been identified with it's history
She was taken violently and suddenly
i'll on Wednesday, August I'd, and
died the following week. Her funeral
took place on Saturday from Trinity
church, of which she was strong and
devoted member for years. The flu
neral services were conducted in
strict accordance with her wishes
There was plenty of flowers, an
Easter and joyful hymn-no sermon,
and only the services Of her church,
which were all in all to her. The
great attendance at the funeral showed
what a hold she had upon the COM
munity. At the close of the sermon
on Sunday her rector said a few
words-true words, of what she had
been to the parish, to the church and
to the world at large. A woman
always " "fervent in spirit serving the
Lord" Mrs. Smith was living witness
of Christian faith, hope and charity.
She had fine intellect, cultivated
mind, a high sense of justice, and
unfaltering persistence in what she
deemed her duty. She was a liberal
and cheerful giver, unstinted in her
benefactions, as many humble
sufferer will feel by her sad removal.
Identified for years with the best
interest, of Trinity Episcopal church,
as tireless worker and a devout
communicate, her death has left a
memory which will be long and
gratefully cherished. For years she
was the parish organist, and freely
and gladly she gave her time and her
means to this end. All the moral and
charitable orders such as the "Relief
Corps" "The Eastern STAR" "The
Woman's Temperance Union," had
her as a most worthy patron and
member. And when she was ap-
pointed to represent the state as one
of the lady managers at the world s
fair, all who knew her worth said it
was high honor well bestowed.
Now "dead indeed" to the cares,
activities, joys and sorrows of this
passing life, "dead" in the dull void
in the hearts that knew her worth,
she still speaks to us all in the good
works which are the memorials of her;
and she still lives in the true life
which will be consummated in the
Resurrection of the Dead. Sadly will
she be missed at home and in the
parish which she loved so we'll, but
Gods will must be done" and may
her soul rest in peace.
She leaves to mourn their loss her
husband, Hon. J. M. Smith, and three
children, J. w. Crawford, of Chicago,
Mrs. Will Ross and Miss Eta Smith,
of this city, besides her brother, Rev.
DR.. Sweet, of Rock Island, Illinois, and
two sisters, Mrs. Weld, of New York
City, and Mrs. Folsom, of Chicago.
