A telegram from Pbmnix, Arizona.
bearing the sad information of tue death
OF Mrs. r. q. Farris WAS received here
Tuesday afternoon by DR.. VIM. Huffman.
Mrs. Farris was his youngest daughter,
was born and reared in Lancaster and
was bright, musical woman. Death

when it comes in any manner, but for a
loved one to be 80 far away from home
makes 1t doubly 80. A husband and one
child with other relatives are left to
