FITcH-Mrs. Sallie Fitch, wife of
DIR. ID. p. Fitch, died at the family
rooms in the Marietta Hotel in this
place last Wednesday morning. Her
death was not unexpected. For
some time she had been suffering
from serious lung trouble, to re-
lieve which everything possible was
done without avail. She has spent
much time in the South, hoping to
be benefited by that climate but the
relief she obtained was only temper
airy. She came home last spring and
did not rally but continued to grow
weaker and when winter came on she
was not able to travel. For some
weeks she has failed rapidly and
when the end was announced, al
though it was expected, it produced
the most profound sorrow among her
many friends and relatives. The
deceased was daughter of Mr..
Tand Mrs. Nj. W. Raymond and was
born and raised in this vicinity In
her girlbood days she was the ac-
knowlcdged belle of her set, and was
one of the most beautiful young la
dies of our city. She was welded
to DR.. Fitch several years ago and
two children survive her.-Indea.
EDDY-Died at his home at Cross
Roads this county on December 90
Elliott Eddy. He was 80 years and
q days old, son of Elihu Eddy,
who died about ten months ago Alex
Eddy of the University and w J.
Eddy,of Newton Theological Semina-
ry, Mass, were his brothers. He
was young man of rare Judgment
and good business ability No
young man in the community pos
sessed a higher standard of truth
and honesty than he. He and Mr..
A. j. Corrothers, who died eleven
days before him were partners in
business. The family, the relatives
as well as the entire community
mourn his loss for in him they have
lost one of their best citizens. His
example will long be power for
good with those among whom he
lived and died. No nobler senti-
ment or prouder eulogy can be pro
nounced upon him than to say that
as he lived he died an honest, truth
full man. No higher ambition can
be conceived than to strive to equal
the grand record made by this model
young business man. The good that
men-do live after them. We extend
our sympathy to the bereaved rela-
tives in this sad termination of a
useful career.

plication of diseases-heart failure
being the immediate cause of her

for many years, and had been con-

yet death came unexpected to her
friends. Mrs. Something's maiden

Rev. l. A. Barnes, pastor of the M.
p. Church of this town on December
18th, then the remains were followed |
by few friends to Bethel M. E. |
Church near her old home, where
quite number of her old friends |
and neighbors had assembled to pay
the last tribute of respect. After a
short service, conducted by Rev.
Hall her former pastor, she was laid
to rest by the side of her husband
Alva Stoneking, who had preceded |
her IA years. Mrs. Stoneking had
been a member of the M. p. Church |
for more than fifty years, and though |
sorely tried by affection she never
lost faith in Jesus-often longing
and praying that she might be re-
leased from her suffering and go to
Jesus and her dear ones who had |
gone before. And while our heart
was filled with sorrow and anguish |
as we saw her body laid beneath the
clods and snow on this bleak Decem-
Der day, we tried to comfort our
selves with the thought that she was
where as we had often heard her say,
Sorrow, sickness, pain and death
are felt and feared no more" Her
teaching and prayers will be ben
ediction to her children while life
shall last. ~
