wife of Capt. j. French Hichborn, which
occurred last Sunday morning from combin-
ed valvular heart trouble and kidney deter
ioration. Mrs. II was person of keen in
tellectuality, rare executive ability and
great beneyolence; her thOughtfulness
often blessing many who live to remember
her kindnesses and mourn her departure
from our midst. Blessed with an extra
ordinary power of song in earlier years,
her grand voice filled our church with melo-
dy each Sunday and assisted in all social
functions to the delight of all listeners.
Alas. she has joined those waiting ''Over
the River" where there is no sickness, and
"God wipes every tear away" The SYM
pathy of friends is extended to the bereaved
husband and daughter, Mrs. j. F. Ryder,
in their irreparable loss. The funeral took
place Monday afternoon at her late resi-
dence, the beautiful floral tributes evincing
the esteem of neighb0rs and of the members
of the Current Events Club, of which she
was an hOnOred member, and for long
time president.
