Death of Mrs. Chas. A. Connor

Mrs. Cornelia Merell Connor, wife of
Charles A. Connor, died at her home,
121 West Exchange street, Tuesday
morning after an illness from consump-
tion extending over period of twelve
years. The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at the Congrega-
tional church, Rev. G. H. Hanks off :
ciating.
Mrs. Connor was born in Wayne
county in 1866 and in 1884 she was
married in Detroit to Charles A. Con.
nor A year later they moved to Owos-
so which has been their home except for
brief period since that time. Some
twelve years ago she was taken with
consumption but resisted the ravages of
the disease so heroically that it was not
until about four years ago that she be-
came seriously sick and then it was not
until about one year ago that she be.
came so i'll that her recovery was dis
paired of. During all of her illness she
has been of the sweetest and most un-
complaining disposition, ever trying to
be a helpmate for her husband in all of
his business cares and a companion for
him and for their two children Frank
E. and Nellie b. all of whom now sur.
vive her. The gentleness and lovable-
ness of her disposition have endeared
her to many others than to her immedi-
ate family and she will be greatly
missed by circle of friends which EN-.
braces many besides those most afflicted
by her loss, her relatives and her sisters
in the Order of the Eastern Star Mem.
bers of the latter order have been al.
most constant in their devotion and
attention to her in her illness. Mrs.
Connor herself was one of the charter
members of Abigail Chapter in this city
and was one of the active workers
while her health permitted.

makes good many dollars difference
in the market-value of a crop. Mr..
Watkins said if any one understood
farm economy in all its phases. he
would be an ideal farmer. Mr.. Berry:
we need questions that we do not
entirely understand and that REQUIRE
thought to benefit our club. Mrs.
Clements: if il pays to put in crop it
pays to take care of it, for instance, If
corn is planted two thickly in the hill
the outlay of dollar or two in hiring
some one to go through the field and
thin it, pays in an increased crop of
first class corn instead of nubbins.
Mr. Gibbs: there is no success in poor
farming, thorough farming is what
pays. When seed is run out it pays to
get new even if the cost is high. Last
spring he sowed 81. 80 worth of plaster
on some wheat that looked very poor
and felt sure that it increased the value
of his crop s75.

proposed that at the next meeting we
have display of grain, apples, potatoes
and corn. The club then adjourned to
