1t is noted as a somewhat singular
coincidence that the recent deaths of
several very prominent citizens of To-
pel6a have occurred near Easter A
few years ago Mr.. c. F. Kendall was
buried about this time. In 1894 the late
w. A Sells was buried on Good Friday
and now another Good Friday sees the
burial of A. J. Arnold, and on the same
day occurs the funeral of Mrs Yates
