Death Of Mrs. Edmund Bleakley.

Mrs. Bertha May Bleakley, wife of Mr..
Edmund Bleakley, of this city, died at
1l:20 O'Clock this forenoon, Feb. 20, at the
home of her parents, Waukegan, ILL.,, in
her thirty-frst year. This news, though
not unexpected, will sadden the hearts
of many loving friends. The failure in
Mrs. Bleakley's health began to be a
matter Of serious concern during the lat
ter part of the past year. She suffered
from a cough, and this, together with a
general lowering Of vitality, told upon
her steadily. At length it was deemed
best TO try the effect of a change, and i'm
the latter part of December she was
taken to Waukegan, where she has since
been under the devoted care of her par
ents. The change, however, was des-
tined to be of no avail.
Mrs. Bloakley was the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John b. Legnard, OF
Waukegan, and a granddaughter of the
late Huntington May, Esq, of Tionesta.
Pa, where she was born, June 5, 1865.
Since her marriage to Mr.. Bleakley,
November 10th, 1887, she was a resident
of Franklin. She was possessed of those
fine traits of character which commanded
the respect of her acquaintances and en-
deared her to all who knew her well.
Dignified, unassuming and afIable, she
made circle of friends in this commu-
nifty who will deeply mourn the dispen-
sation that has taken her from life in the
first prime of womanhood.
The deceased was well endowed with
mental graces and accomplishments. To
a good education she added decided ia
Guilty for art, and these gifts were en-
riched by study and European travel.
In much that she did in her leisure hours
was revealed the eye, taste and hand OF
an artist. Her heart was in her home,
however, and to the welfare of her chill
dren she gave devoted and constant care.
The death of her second son, little John,
aged three and a half years, which oc-
Cured in this city on the 9th inst, must
have come with crushing effect to the
mother, already prostrated by illness and
unable to leave her bed.
Two sons survive to feel lasting be-
reavement in the loss of a mothers help
and constant love. The sympathy of this
community will cluster around them and
the husband in their affliction. The lat
ter, who had but just returned from
Waukegan, where he had left the young
est boy, started again for that place yes
terday morning, and was probably at his
wite's bedside when she passed away
