can only be accomplished by keeping

herself or family. During We'd
nesday evening she was sudden
ly stricken with sinking spell,
and medical attendance wa S
called, but nothing could be done,
and at eleven o'clock Mrs. Corn-
ing passed away. The deceased

The funeral services were held at
the Congrepati"nal Church last

The universal regard for the de-
ceased and sympathy for her sur.
viving husband, children and aged
mother were manifest in the very
large atten dance at the services.
The Rebekahs, Royal Neighbors,
Odd Fellows and Modern Woo Omen
showed their last tokens of respect
by their kindly attention to the be-
reaved family, their appropriate and
beautiful gifts Of flowers, and in fol-
lowing the remains of their late be-
loved and highly valued sister.
The church was crowded in every
part and many were unable to And
places within.
The worth OF the deceased, the
saddeness of her death, the great
respect in which the bereaved hus.

stirred the tender and sympathetic
feeling OF the community to an un-
wonted extent. The Reverend
