OBITUARY..

Mrs. Annie " Everhart, wife of DR.. I.
| f. Everhart, died yesterday morning at
her home on Franklin avenue after a
painful Illness of many weeks duration.
Mrs. Evarhart was bora in lS47 and until
| q few weeks ago was possessed of eXcep-
tionally good health, but a series of dis
tressing family Affections which caused
1 a great shock to her nervous system
| seemed the beginning of what proved to
| be fatal malady made up of a compli-
| cation of disorders. 1t will be remem-
| bered that last May. James Everhart,
whose home had been in the family for
| many years, dieG very suddenly in his
brothers arms. A month later another
brother, Samuel, who had come to this
| city to attend the funeral, also died at
| the home of DR.. Everhart. A peculiar
| coincidence connected With these strange
| fatalities was that each occurred on the
| fourteenth day of the month, and that
| in the previous December another BROTH
er, William, died on the same date. Yes
| terday was the fourteenth OF February
| and it was then that the last visitation
| upon this family was chronicled in the
| death of Mrs. EVerhart.
Few women have made the impress
upon society in general that Mrs. Ever
| hart, in her wide charity and nobility
of character made during the years OF
| her busy life. Beautiful in her home
| living, great of heart and sympathetic
| beyond most, her strong personality and
| exalted principles brought to her general
| respect and admiration. She had a con-
| science as tender as that of little
| child and gGntlenes3 of nature pos
Sessed by few
In the charitable work of this city Mrs.
| EVerhart had been prominently identified
| for many years, as worker in st. Luke $
| church, the value of her services are too
we'll known to need comment, and the
Young Women's Christian association
now suffers the loss of one of it's most
| capable supporters and warmest friends.
| She was vice president of this organiza-
tion for some years; was director since
| its beginning, and at the time of her
| death was on the board of directors and
also charm an OF the gymnasium COM
mittee. Competent, earnest and devoted
her works do speak for her, in the elo-
| quence of the tear-dimmed eve of the
poor she has aided the struggling and
disheartened she has encouraged. and
| words have cheered.
Her home is now a desolate place from
which have departed its light and com
fort. She leaves devoted husband and
son to miss her ever in the dear familiar
places where she made sunshine and
gladness. All over the city may be
found those who mourn the end of n
