Death OF Mrs. Joseph Gundry.

Last Thursday afternoon, the 22nd
inst, at four o'clock, Mrs. Sarah
Gundry, relict of the late Joseph
Gundry, died at her home in this
city, after an illness of about five
months duration. Mrs. Gundry was
born in Cornwall, England, Nov. 8,
1923. Her maiden name was Sarah
Perry. In 1S47 she was united i'm
marriage to Mr.. Joseph Gundry, and
the following year they came direct
from their native home to Mineral
Point, and from that period to the
hour of death this has been their
home.
Although of a gentle, retiring nat
ure. ever sustaining by her daily
action as wife and mother the unde-
niable fact that her home was her
haven, Mrs. Gundry, during all her
long career as q citizen of Mineral
Point, was prominently identified
through the channels that worked
for the elevation, comfort and hap
piness of mankind, by her kind, SYM
pathetic heart and christian spirit.
That she will be greatly missed in
this community by those in every
walk of life, outside the family
circle, there is no question.
Two sons and two daughters sur
vive her-William p. and Miss Mary
r., of this city; John M. and Mrs. II.
w. King, of Cleveland, Ohio, all of
whom were present at the funeral
also Mr.. King and Mrs. John M.
Gundry.
Burial services were conducted at
the home Sunday afternoon, Rev.
w. +. Tomlinson, assisted by Rev.
w. w. Hurd, officiating. Interment
in Graceland cemetery.

Music Hath Charms.

The Epworth League entertain
ment Monday evening was largely
attended, and the program as pub
lished in last weeks Tribune carried
out actically to the latter.
The opening number, a chorus by
twenty voices or over, led by Miss
Sadie Jacobs, was exceptionally good
and pleasing to the ear, just the thing
to put the audience in proper tune.
The solos by Miss Grace Chandler,
Miss Ida Loui, Miss Nellie Colds
worthy and Miss Eunice Blewitt, re-
ceived merited applause, which to-
gether with the duet by the Misses
Jessie Hooking and Annie Uren, es-
tablished the undisputable fact that
in our midst are numerous young
ladies of rare sweetness of voice and
talent.
Another duet, entitled "Bethel," by
Rev. w. w. Hurd and Miss Sadie
Jacobs was, as expected, well render
ed, the melody and charm proving so
fascinating as to cause the audience
TO clamor for more of the same kind.
Masters Ray Alton, Erbie GRADER,
James Hutchinson and James Knight
the boy quartet, Gid themselves great
credit in the rendition OF "The Choir
Boy" while another male quartet
consisting Of Messrs. Hughes. Healy,
Martin and Vickerman pleased ev-
erybody with their medley selection.
Piano solos by Miss Melissa Osborn
of Darlington demonstrated that her
talents are more than ordinary. Her
playing ranks with that of the best
that have been heard in this city,
and that she will always meet with a
hearty reception from a Mineral
Point audience there is no doubt.
Readings by Mrs. j. +. Hendra
were in keeping with her well estab-
lished reputation. They were un-
auestionably among the most de-
lightful features of the entertain
ment.
So much for local talent with the
full measure of praise scarcely half
portrayed.

On Tour Of Inspection.

Last week State University geo.
logical class of seventeen, accompan-
led by Prof. w. w. Hobbs, inspected
various mining localities in this sec
ton. They took in Galena, Benton,
Shullsburg, Platteville, Mifflin, Lin
den, and landed in Mineral Point
Friday afternoon. remaining until
Saturday noon. What knowledge
they gained has not been publicly
divulged, but that the outing will
prove beneficial to them there is no
doubt. While in our city they called
on Mr.. j. L. Gray for the express pur-
pose of inspecting his large collec-
tion of rich and rare ore specimens,
and were greatly facinated with the
same.
The Angel comedians, who
showed in this city all last week, were
good and entitled TO more success
than they met with here.
