Welded AT FUNERAL OF HIS

Au occurrence that took place 1T a
small country chapel across tle ridge
sc me four miles sol least of Wyoming,
w. Va, on Friday goes TO prove
thtt t truth is sometimes stranger than
| fiction, and 10 which the altar and the
grave, or a funeral end wedding,
| were ttrsugely iDterwined.
The wife of Will Markell died some
three weeks ago, leaving three small
children, the youngest OF whom wss a
babe OF eleven days, all three of them
being girls. As 10 the custom with
couI try folk there in tee mouL t4ins,
tle burial took place shortly sfier
death, and the date of the funeral was
stt az li ter time.
Friday the friends Of tle late Mrs.
Markell asssmbled in the little chapel
! to pay their last sad respects to the de-
parted wife, and the mini't,r extolled
ber virtues and consoled TIE mOurDefs
with the thought that while she could
nt come back to them, they should
| so i've as to meet her ia that realm
beyond these voices. where there is
peace, taking his te1t from t 10 book at
Revelation: "And God shall wipe
awey ell tears from their eyes, aod
there shall be no more dei t1."
As the audience was dismissed with
the benedclioD, and while they were
raj ing their bowed heads preparatory
ID leave.ts taking, Mr.. Markell, t1o-chief
mourner, stepped 1p to the pulpit ard
handed tns miDi-ter q document.
ALI was silence aud brestlless Gu
riosty pervsded the little sanctuary,
which was accentusted when Miss
Hsidee Richards, a oOmely girl OF %,

In the presence of the congregation,

the audience, which had just been call

Ing widOWer ID o hsppy bridegroom.
Explanations were demanded, and It
t-ansoIred that it was the dying re-
que,t OF the deceased that her school
mate and closest friend, in the person
of pretty Miss Haidee, should on
the day Of her funeral become the bride
Of her late husband, and thus be per-
mitt. d mothers right to care for and
resr her motherless little oDes.
As the couple are highly respect able
and have lived there for years without a
stain upon their character in any wsy,
their sensational wedding has been
giveD the sanction Of public approval,
and by it's peculiar strangeness has
caused no end of comment.
