The printer is subject to more ups
and downs than any other trade in
the world, at least this has been our
experience. Last week before going
to press we attempted to warm one
of our large rollers, and carelessly
left it by the stove while we went to
look after something else, when We
returned, we found the roller rosted
and spoiled. It was this fact that
caused few Of our papers to be
very poorly printed, last week.

IN MEM9ReAM.
sars. Edward VI. Duniaassl.

Last week it was our SAD uuty 10
chronicle the death of Mrs. h, Nj.
Durham, wife of Judge Durham,
of Lsporte. Mrs. Durham has been
a great sufferer for years and it was
in hopes of speedy and permanent
relief that she left for Philadelphia
about two weeks ago to submit to
a surgical operation. She was ac-
companled by her husband who re-
manned at her bedside till the end.
The operation was performed on
Monday the | lth inst, and notwith.
standing the efforts Of the most skill
ful medical aid, death followed in a
few hours.
Mrs. Dunham's maiden name was
Hannah nj. Crocker. She was born
| in Montrose, Susquehanna county,
Sept. 25th, lS47, and was a daughter
Of Daniel and Zerphia Finch Crock
er. Her early years were spent in
Montrose, Lanesboro, and Deposit,
N. Y. In 1871 she came to Lapofte
where she engaged in teaching. On
June 18th 1872 she was united in
marriage with Edwin M. Durham.
10 them four children have been
born only one of whom, Ellen L.,
is now living.
The telegram received at Laporte
announcing her death produced a
profound sensation and sense OF
sorrow filed every heart. For sevs
eral years her impaired health and
the care Of an invalid daughter have
kept her closely confined to her
home. Her devotion TO her family
was supreme. AS wife. mother, and
sister her constant thought was the
comfort and happiness of those
about her. In her home she will be
sadly missed. Her greatest thought
in seeking relief and restoration to
health was that her life might be
spared to her family. She was ever
ready to render aid and assistance
to those in need. Her help was
never withheld from any good cause.
She was a consistent member of the
Presbyterian church and as long as
health permitted was active in all
religious work.
Besides a husband and daughter,
Mrs. Dunhau. leaves two sisters,
brother and other relatives TO mourn
her loss. In their sad affection they
have the heartfelt sympathy of a
large circle of friends.
The funeral was held on Friday,
February 10Th, and was very largely
attended. Rev. Hallock Armstrong
Il former pastor at l.aporte, preached
a very impressive sermon. A large
concourse of sorrowing friends fol
lowed the remains to their last rest
ing place in Mountain Ash cemetery
