OBITUARY.

Mrs. Sofia Skie, aged Sc years
and II months, died February
10, 1895, OF abdominal tu1nor.
Mrs. Skie was born in Strand
charm, Hardanger, Norway. She
emigrated with her family to
this country in 1882 and has
lived in New London ever since.
She leaves a husband and four
children-three boys and one girl.
all grown up. Mrs. Skie was a
woman of unusual energy and
tact. She was a typical Norwe-
gian in the rugged honesty in all
her dealings. She was respected
by everybody. Her death seems
to leave a void in New London,
as she was really one of the old
and familiar persons seen passing:
up and down our streets almost
every day. Thus one by one we
pass away. The funeral was
held Wednesday last, Rev.
Midthun officiating. Alarge con-
course of people followed her to
her last resting place in Oak Hill
cemetery.
Rest in peace.
