At l 80 in the afternoon of Nov. 10,
Miss Mabel Down, after an illness of six
months, passed away in North Yakima,
lung trouble causing the death.
Four months ago the mother, accom-.
panied by Miss Katie, removed the sui.
ferer from this city vainly hoping for
relief, but the much-sought blessing
came not.
Miss Mabel was born in Greenville,
Mich, Oct. 26, 1876, removing to Aber-
deem in 1889, where she since resided.
She graduated from the Aberdeen High
School in June 1896, and attended the
State Normal at Ellensburg for two ses-
sions; family illness prevented the COM
pletion of her course of study.
Miss Down united with the Baptist
church in this city six years ago and
gave sympathetic and helpful hand to
every good cause. Her beautiful and
useful life endeared her to all.who knew
her and she will be greatly missed.
The funeral will take place from the
Baptist church at | 80 this afternoon,
the interment following in Fern Hill
cemetery.
