The Newtown bee., 1898-02-04
NEW PRESTON,

On last Friday morning occurred the death here of Mrs George s. Lyman, whose sickness has been fr quently men, tioned in THE BEE during the past year. She has suffered long and severe with gastriris and gastric ulcer. Last week appendicitis developed and early in the week her end was by her many friends believed to be near. She retained con- sc'ousness till Thu sday afternoon. She expired at l a. m., on Friday. Her fu- neral was largely attended at her late residence on Sunday afternoon. Rev Evan Evans otflciated, and a quartet composed of Misses Myra Cable and B, S. sic Taylor and Messrs Sherman Cogs- well and George T. Sperry rendered two selections. ''Rock of Ages" and "Lead Kindly Light" The remains were then laid to rest in the cemetery here, near the home which has been hers in welded life for the past 10 years. Mrs Lyman leaves bereaved husband, one child, & girl of six years, and parents who are bereft of their last remaining offspring. all of whom have for two years lived happily here together. Mrs Lyman's decease therefore leaves a most sad va cancy. She has made many firm friend ships here and the feelings of many at her funeral was strongly manifest. No one could wish her back to suffer as she has done for several months but many feel that loving wife, devoted mother and most kind and generous neighbor has gone from us. In the home the loss for long time will be most keenly felt and all hearts extend in deepest sympa- thy to the parents now we'll advanced in years, the husband who has done all in his power for ht r comfort and relief and little motherless Reba who hopes she twill see mama again" and know she will if she does ''as mama told her. 5 The sympathy of MT Lyman's brethren of R'slrg Sun Lodge, No. 27, F. 6 AM, at Washington Depot was aroused to that degree that at stated communica- tion of their lodge last Friday evening, the following was unanimously voted or adopted as an expression of their entire regard for him:
