DEATH OF MISS CADY.
She Expires in a Milwaukee Hospital
A of


o'clock. Some two months ago Miss
Cady went to Milwaukee to receive
! treatment for a malady from which
she had suffered, more or less, for a
number OF years past, and it was final
ly decided that an operation must be
performed as the only means of pro-
longing her life. Consequently she
was taken to the hospital and two
| weeks prior to her death underwent
the ordeal. The operation was sue
cessful and it was hoped that the
patient would be sufficiently strong to
pass over the trying stages, but after
a week Of favorable prospects she be-
gan to fail and it became manifest
| that her Constitution would not prove
| equal to the demands upon it. The
last week Of her earthly existence was
one OF the greatest anxiety to the in
innate friends who kept watch in the
slck-rOom, but every attention and
care OF foud hands ard the best OF
medical skill were of no avail The
patient sufferer was no more for this
world, and SO, ia the quiet and calm
sthe midnight hours, the spirit fed
hence to its God and Creator, in whose
kno Wedge and fear the departed had
lived her life Of purity sweetness and
well-doing. The Saturday afternoon
train brought the remains to this city
| and they were taken to the residence
Of General and Mrs. Albert Solliday,
which had been the abode OF the de-
| ceased since her fathers demise
The death of Miss Cady will cause
many pang of sorrow and sincere
regret to touch the heart, not only in
this city, which had always been her
! home and where she was universally
beloved and admired, but in the num-
erous other places where she had
visited and gained lasting friendships.
She was in more ways than one a re-
| markable woman, and to have known
her intimately and to have felt the
sOftening influence Of her delicate
mannerisms and rare intelligence,
must be considered a privilege that
will, now she is gone, be doubly APP
preciated. Her nature was of the re-
sOurceful and observing kind, and her
every experience in life was. it seem
ed, used to advantage in adding to her
wonderfuf fund of knowledge and con
ception. She had Travelled a great
deal, being thoroughly familiar with
the places of interest, not only in this
country, but in Europe and parts OF
Asia and Africa. She was most en-
tertaining conversationalist,a and it was
truly delight to hear her in q re-
miniscent mood. We are certain her
friends can attest to many a pleasant
hour passed in the sunshine of her
society," She was also faithful
student Of literature au a liberal
patron of art, which, mbined with
her other high accomplishments, rem
dered her woman Of the utmost re-
fnement and culture. Add to these
attributes a noble character aud an
ever present inclination to perform
some charitable act Or to help some
needy fellow being or worthy project
in a quiet. unostentatious way, and we
have a person in Miss Cady who came
as near acquiring the golden precepts
Of a well-spent life as is perhaps pos
sible in this world.
Miss Cady dearly loved life, with
all of its beauties and enjoyment,
and with the associations of her
chosen friends, but her strong faith in
her religion never permitted her to
forego Christian duties for worldly
pleasure. She was a devout and con-
sistent member of the Episcopal
church and departed this life in full
communion with God and in the
realization of blessed Immortality
St. Paul's church in this city has on
more than one occasion known her
benefcent spirit, and the beautiful
Cady Memorial chapel, erected by her
to the memory Of her father soon after
his death, stands witness to her in
fuence for good and fidelity to her
church.
Miss Cady was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Linus r. Cady, pioneer resi-
dents of WatertOwn, now long deceas-
ed. Mr. Cady was one of our wealthy
citizens and upon his death in March,
1886, left his daughter in aff1uence.
Mrs. Cady preceded her husband to
the other world several years.
After her fathers death Miss Cady
took up her residence in the Solliday
home, and there she has ever been as
one of the family, although no rela-
tionship existed between her and
them. They were strong in one
another's affections and in her death
the household which knew her so we'll
feels a loss of the deepest kind and
one which can never be filed.
Miss Cady's funeral occurred Mon
| day afternoon from General Solliday's
residence to ST. piul's church. where
services we're held at 2 u'cioclz. The
edifice was filed to overfowiny with
Borrowing friends gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect. The rec
tor, Rev. L. G. Eglin, officiated, and
the music was rendered by the vested
choir and the Iroquois Male qnartette
Flowers in great abundance and rare
beauty were offered as silent tokens of
esteem. The remains were consigned
to their final resting place by the side
of those of the denarted mother and
