Death of Mrs. HOVt,


Mrs. Ephraim A. Hoyt died at her
Tuesday Sept. II aged 73 years. A
week previous she fell and broke her arm
and this, added to age and feebleness
caused her death. In her illness she was
tenderly cared for by her daughter Mrs.
Emma Jones. Mrs. Hoyt has resided in
this vicinity for the past seventeen years
and she was so sincerely and thoroughly
good woman that she will be greatly
missed and truly mourned by all who
were privileged to be intimately acquain-
ted with her. Great sympathy is felt for
her aged husband who received injuries
from a fall few weeks ago from which
he has not recovered. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. H. 6. Nc

was at Lyndon Centre.

the wisdom of the change. He has fitted

it by four or five steps another room well
adapted for storing and exhibiting his

far more conveniences than in his old
