died at her home on the corner of King
and Ball streets Saturday. She had
been failing in health for many months
and had been very low for several days
so that her death was not unexpected.

Hanks officiating and the officers of the
Congregational church acting as pail
bearers.
''Aunty" Marshall had been resi-
dent of this city for almost forty years,
coming here from Nashville where she
had kept house for brother for three
years preceding, in 1861. She was all
her life an active church worker and
even when no longer able to work as
she had formerly done, insisted on Civ
ing more than many another to her
church. She has always, since coming
to Owosso, resided in the same little
house, No. 2O2 West King street, where
she lived surrounded by vines and
Towering shrubs and small fruit trees
in abundance She is survived by but
one relative, a nephew living in Bay
City.

up Friday night. business meeting had
b, en- held in the church and as those in at
tendance were leaving the building bright
light was seen in the tower which was
quickly discovered to be fire spreading
thru the entire upper part of the building.
Before the fire department could be got to
work the roof of the entire building had
fallen in and it had become impossible TO do
anythng to save the rest from going. At
tentiOn was then turned to the parsonage
south of the church and that was saved tho
damaged to the extent of about fifty dollars.
Rev Mr.. Crambet's household goods were
removed from the building. There was in
surance on the church building to the
amount of So, 900 but none on the parson-
age. The church building was erected in
1880 and was valued at $500. The Bap-

part of their regular business, they

glasses in their hands and happy
smile upon their faces, they honestly
look as If they had found hundred
dollars, they look around among the
passengers for some one who appears
susceptible and very confidently tell
them of their good fortune, they havn't
the slightest idea what the glasses
are worth but should think six to eight
dollars, they will be satisfied to get two
in the end, they generally let them go
for one dollar or one fifty. One thing
is very remarkable these glasses are
always bright and new, they never show
