DEATH OF MRS MCINTYRE.

The residents of this village were greatly shocked and ssddened last 5un- day morning upon being informed that Lovins Roys, wife of Warren Mcintyre, had died suddenly sbout II o'clock the previous evening. Unlimited sympathy was expressed for the family who was without warning called to part with the beloved wife and mother. Mrs Mcintyre had recently enjoyed unusual good health, and on Saturday was busy all day with her household duties. She re- tired at her ususl hour, apparently in perfect health. About 10 30 o'clock her husband, who occupied an adjoin- ing room, was awakened by moaus or peculiar sounds, and he immediately proceeded to Mrs McIntyre's room and found her iu an unconscious condition but breathing heavily. The position of the bed clothing indicated that she bad attempted to arise. A physician was promptly summoned. but Mrs Mcintyre was beyond earthly aid, and in few moments she breathed her last Her death was undoubtedly due to heart di- sease, symptoms of which had manifest ed themselves occasionally in previous years.
 Lovina Roys was the eldest of stle five children of the late Harry snd Ennice Roys. She was born in this town Nov. 2l, 1881 and on Oct. 9, 1853 she was married to Mr Warren Mcintyre at her old home on the hill. near the Norfolk town line in East Canaan. Immediate ly after their marriage Mir and Mrs Me- Irtyre went to Ohio and lived tEere a short time and then removed to Bir- mingham, Conn. From the latter place they went to Illinois and bought farm on the praries about S0 miles south of Chicago. After remaining there about two years they returned East again and MT Mcintyre worked at blacksmithing iu Amenia, N. Y. From Amenis they came to Canaan and have resided here about 34 years, anl have enjoyed the re- spect and esteem of all their acquaint- ances.
 Besides her husband, Mrs Mcintyre leaves two sons, three daughters, and several grandchildren. The sons are: Reuben, living in New Haven; Martin. living in Bridgeport. The daughters are: Jennie. wife of G. B Gardner of Coxsackie. N. r; Ella, widow of Dr Carter, living in Canaan; Ada, wife of John Nicoll. living in Canaan. The entire family, children and grandchil- dren, assem bled around the Mcintyre fireside last Thanksgiving. All were in good health and greatly enjoyed the re- union. The decease of Mrs Mcintyre is the first death which has occurred in the family.
 Mrs Mcintyre is also survived by one brother, Rev E. H. Roys of North Ger mantown, N. r., and by two sisters - Lncy, widow of the late Alderman Ives of Winsted; Laura, wife of James Hum- phrey of New Haven. One brother, Henry, died 20 years ago.
 For many years Mrs Mcintyre has been an active and exemplary member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in this village. She was indeed a good Samaritan, and for many years when ever neighbor was sick or destitute the first impulse was to send for Mrs Mcintyre because she always responded promptly and never would accept any compensation for ary service she could render the afflicted or the unfortunate She was not a professional nurse, but her presence and gentle ministrations brought cheer, hope, courage and ale viation of suffering in the sick room. At her funeral one lady remarked, "I owe my life to Mrs McIntyre's care and advice during my illness a few years ago."
 A good woman has gone to her re- ward, and she will not only be missed in the home circle but in the church and in the community.

On tue black cloth covered casket lay beautiful floral pillow and 0 sheaf of whest tied with 8 purple ribbon. Rev Befthold Sseholzer, pastor of the Church. con- ducted the services.
