Obituary.

Mrs. S. A. Munger, who passed peace
fully away last Monday evening, was
born in the state of Ohio, November 5
1889, aud has been a resident of this vii
lage for many years. During the past
year she suffered much, but bore her
suffering with patience. Strong hopes
we're entertained for her ultimate recov-
cry until two weeks before her death
when change in her condition confined
her TO her bed and she gradually sank
away. She was devoted wife, a faith
ful mother and a loyal friend and neigh.
,for~ ever mindful of the comfort and
)n1fare of others. While, her death was
,ot unexpected it still brings grief and
orrow to her familya and large circleo
rsincere friends.
