Obituary.

L1NG-Died in Cresco, May z, 1897,
Anna NJ, wife OF r. w. Ling, aged
"a years, months and 16 days.
Deceased was born in Puntan, Som
mersetshire, England, December 21,
1922. In 1886, ske united with the
Wesleyan Methodist church in En-
gland, remaining with it until her re-
moval to the United States.
The 26 of January 1849, she was
united in marriage with r. w. Ling,
who with three sons born to them re-
main to mourn the death OF wife and
mother. In 1869, Mr.. and Mrs. Ling
with their family removed to the
United States, locating in this immedi-
ate vicinity. The three surviving
children were present at the burial of
their mother, the younger one having
journeyed from Wyoming, but not ar
irving until after the demise of mother.
Mrs. Ling had for long time been
in frail health, which was made more
severe from an injury received in a
fall upon an icy walk, in the winter,
from which she never recovered. Dur
ing her long illness she was faithfully
attended and cared for by husband and
sons here, and passed away surround
ed by Borrowing members of her fami-
ly. 1t is meet to mourn the death of
30 good wife and mother as she, and
with those who mourn her, there are

John Streinz Jr. the night of the en-
tertainment in behalf of New Oregon
cemetery at Lyric Hall, to exhibit
come of the smartness which his own
resources have developed, attempted
to throw an egg through the open door
at the entrance of the hall upon the
stage while the exhibition was in pro.
gress. His hand not being in tune
with his heart aimed too high and the
missile landed outside and above the
door. An information was filed against
him Saturday and Monday morning
he was taken in custody of the violat-
ed law OF the state and arraigned be-
fore Justice Moon upon the charge of
melting disturbance to which he plead
guilty, whereupon a fine of $25 and
costs was imposed with Imprisonment
as required by statute in default Of
payment. The spirit that would
prompt such a deed to the injury of
several hundred innocent persons as
sembled In the hall is the same as that
which prompts lawless and criminally
inclined people to wreck railroad
train, loaded with innocent people. 1t
is really more criminal in spirit, be-
cause the person who wrecks train
may have some cause of complaint
against q railroad management, and it's
methods, but could have none rgainst
meeting for the purpose of provid-
ing for cemetery improvement.

Marriage.

A quiet wedding took place at the
church of the Immaculate Conception
in Elma, Thursday, April 20, 1897, at
8 o'clock a. m. The contracting
parties were L. Long and Miss Anna
Kratzman, both OF Lourdes. Rev.
Father Gum officiated at the cere-
monies.
The bride is beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of respectable
parents, who are engaged in agricul-
ture in the vicinity of Lourdes.
The groom is a man with whom all,
or nearly all, our readers are acquaint-
ed. A man of considerable wealth,
the which he obtained by honest toll
and thrift. Though advanced in years
the fire of youth flashes from his eye,
and the clasp of his hand shows
possession OF mind still replete with
hope, friendliness and sanguine aspi-
rations. He has retired from active
life and, being possessed of several
properties on Busti Avenue has chosen
one of them in which to cherish his
bride and pass his declining years.
On the evening of the nuptial day
the Elma cornet band filed into line
and stopped before the street entrance
OF the residence of the happy couple,
where they make the echoes with airs
productive of their best efforts. They
were of course rewarded with &c ner-
GUS hand, characteristic of the groom
in every day life.
70 this honest and worthy couple
we offer our heartiest congratulations.
We wish for them long life and that
serene content which comes to those
who are happily mated Elma News
