Salome Alice Stranger was born on
January 80, 1875, and after severe
sickness of two months she passed
away from earth on Monday, Deem
Der ID, 1897. She was married to Frank
r. Stranger, August 30, 1893. Two
children blessed their union, the oldest
of which has preceded it's mother to
the better land. She had been a MEM
Der of the Methodist church for about
ten years, and greater part of this
time a teacher in the Sabbath School.
During her recent illness she told her
friends she was ready to go, and no
lowship of her angel child and sainted
mother in that land where no parting
words are ever spoken. Funer-
al services were held in the Methodist
church on Wednesday, conducted by
her pastor, Rev. o. Il. Nichols, assisted
by Rev. II. l.. Wissler and Rev. J. C.
McQuerry. Her remains were laid to
rest near the grave of her mother, in
the Extra cemetery.
To earth's kind bosom do we tearfully
take thee:
No mortal sound from rest again shall
wake thee;
No fcver-thirst, no grief that needs assuag-
ing,
No tempest above thy head loud-raging.
Sleep here in peace.
To the friends who have so kind
ly assisted us in our late bereave-
nent we extend our earnest and
sincere thanks.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Van Buren,, of Greeley township, has
been overshadowed with sadness by
the death of their little girl Addie.
On Friday evening, December 10th,
the little one went up to that better
country. Effie Adelaide Van Buren,
was ten years, six months and four
days. So quickly did she pass away
that many of the near neighbors knew
nothing of the sickness in the home.
All that tender loving hands and
medical skill could do, was done, but
to no avail. The funeral services were
held at the house on Sunday forenoon
and were largely attended by neigh
bors and friends. Services were CON
Quoted by Rev. Wissler of the Congre-
gational church.
Lines in memory of Effie Adelaide
Van Buren,:
One more has gone from this strange
world of ours
No more to gather its thorns with its
flowers;
No more to linger where Sunbeanls must
fade
Where now all beauty death fingers are
Weary of sowing for others to reap
Weary of parting and never to meet.
Yes there is one more angel bleSt
One less to cherish, one less to kiss;
One more departed to heavens bright
shore
Loved ones e'er waiting to welcome her
DER.
We desire to express our thanks to
all our friends who so kindly assisted
us during the short illness and death
of our darling daughter
MIR. AND MRS. w. s. VAN buren,.
