OBITUARY

Mrs. Amelia A. Calling died at the
home of her daughter Mrs. d. II. Jay
GA Spruce street, at $50 p. m. yesterday.
Mrs. CARING was born December 2S, 1913,
in Asbury, N. J. She was a daughter
of James and Mary tWalker) Virgins.
With her husband, William p. CARING,
she removed to Scranton in 1919, when 1t
was little more than hamlet. Mr.. Carl
ing was an active business man in the
community until his death in 1877, having
been for many years partner of the late
James Mckinney, whose widow died here
last week. Since her husbands death
Mrs. CARING has lived in the family Of
her daughter, Mrs. Jay. She was always
woman of great activity and energy
of character. Her fidelity and efficiency
in domestic life are testified to not only
by the members of her immediate family
but also by many men, now in middle life,
who in their early residence in Scranton
were inmates of her household. She re-
tanned almost to the end of her long life
the vigor and independence of her more
active years. Her energy and force, how
ever, We're not exercised to the exclI-
sion of the gentler traits of true woman-
hood, On the contrary her sympathetic
kindness and helDfulness We're never ap-
peaed to in vain. She was a humble and
consistent Christian and devoted and
faithful member of the First Presby-
terian church. She was always ready to
respond to the demands of duty or the
appeals of want or misfortune with per-
sonal help or financial aid Her spirit
was patient, gentle and charitable.
Among the thousands who have known
her in this community there are none
who will recall of her any act or word
prompted by malice, envy or ill-will. Mrs.
CARING had four children who lived TO
| maturity. Peter c., who was the cashier
OF the Second National bank, and who
