YOUNG LIFE GONE OUT.
Miss Nettie Wagner succumbs To the Grim
Reaper, Death.


II becomes our sad duty this week t6
chronicle the death OF one of Belongs
bright young people, one that was uni
versally respected and esteemed, and
whose loss causes feeling OF sadness
and gloom to prevade the entire city.
Miss Nettie EuniceWagner was born
June /, 1877, at Eastmanville, Mich.
where her parents at that time resided
and lived there until their removal to
Bedding in July, 1891. She attended
the Bedding high school and was grad
uated in 1895, being chosen presinent
OF her class. She was an ambitious
student and conscientious worker,
highly respected by teachers and class
mates, and nearly always stood at the
head OF her classes.
After graduating she taught school
for one year near Smyrna, then went
to the University of Michigan in the
fall Of '97 where she continued until
last June. She took position In the
Bedding public schools last September
which she continued to hold at the
time she was taken with her last sick
ness. Her death occurred Tuesday
morning, December 26, at 7 o'clock,
after an illness covering only ten days,
from peritonitis. Every effort was put
forth to stay the progress of the dread
disease but without avail. Her constltu-
tion was never strong and she was too
ambitious for the good of her health.
She was a member of the Congrega-
tional church and active in Sunday
school and G. Il. work.
The funeral services take place to-
day Thursday at 2 p. IN. at the Con-
church, Rev. j. j. Staley
and Rev. II. a. Mcconnell officiating.
The pail bearers will be Arthur Glib
bard, Traverse City, Will Peck, Ionia,
Earl Vincent, Howard Hall, Byron
Brown, Ellis Ranney.
This is the first break in family
circle which consisted of father, mother
and nine children. They have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their bereavement.
