Mr.. Cornish passed away Mon
day, Feb. 2, 1908, at the advanced
age Of 80 years, months and IA
days. He had been in feeble health
for some time and his death was
not unexpected.
Mr.. Cornish was born in Suffolk
county, England, Sept. Is, 1920.
In 1881 he emigrated to America,
settling at first in Warren county,
N. Y. On Dec. 20, 1916, he married
Miss Mary A. Flanders of Lake
George, n. Y. They came to River
Falls in 1883, living for a few years
IN the village, then settling on the

resided until about six months ago
when they moved into the city.
Mrs. Cornish preceded her hus-

Five children survive, all living in
this vicinity: Mrs. P. F. Lowell:

MISS NELLIE WHITE.

Nellie had been i'll for two years,
suffering from that insidious and
fatal disease, consumption, and yet
death came to her with unexpected
suddenness. While the disease had
been gradually reducing her
strength and endurance she had not
been confined to her bed or to the
house until the day before her death
when she had apparently contracted
cold. Death called her from the
embrace of her loving parents and
brother, Friday, January 80, 1908.
Nellie White was born near Pen
dleton, Madison county, Indiana,
March IL, 1877. Her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. N. M. White, moved with
her to this state when she was two
years of age. She had lived in this
city for the past eleven years. Here
she attended school and would have
been graduated from the High
school in the class of '97 in June,
but having an opportunity to teach
she left her studies to take charge
of a school. Afterwards she at
tended the Normal and would have
been graduated from the Elemen-
tary course with the class of '99 had
she not left in the spring of that
year to engage in teaching. Two
years ago she was forced to desist
from teaching as disease began to
show its effects upon her constitu-
ton.
She had been member of the
M. E. church for ten years and was
sustained to the end by her faith
and confidence. Because of her

G. Horton James.

By fortunate circumstance the
people of this city and vicinity are
likely to have the opportunity of hear
ing one of the great lecturers of the
day-G. Horton James Of Califor-
MIA. Mr.. James is now on a lecture
tour through the great cities-New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Chicago, etc., and is ex-
pected here for a few days on a visit
to his brother-in-1aw, C. H. George.
While here he will probably lee
ture in the M. E. church, sometime
during the last week of this month.
Mr.. James is one of the most popu-
lar lecturers on the stage and can
ordinarily be employed only where
the patronage is very great.

Saturday night at the Congrega-
tional church we expect something
fine in Mrs. Beecher's recitals.
She is evidently way up in her role.
We have never seen press notices
of any performer in better taste
than are those that report her reel
tations. 1t may be seen by these
announcements that there is solid
merit in her renditions. AS so
many circular announcements of
her appearance have been issued
circulars that contain many press
notices-it is needless to repeat
them here. The report in that cir
cu1ar of her rendition of Enoch
Arden is evidently an honest i'm
preston and no one can read it
without the conclusion that Mrs.
Beecher is a superb artist.

BERT H. WOOD.

At his home in ST. Paul, Feb. /,
1908, after a short illness from an
attack of pleurisy, Bert H. Wood
passed away in the Seth year of his
life. He was in the government
postal service, mail clerk on the
railway between St. Paul and Ash
land. He met with an accident a
few weeks ago, having taken fall
that compelled him to keep to the
house for time. Getting better he
went out doors and sawed a few
sticks of wood, took a severe cold
which resulted in pleurisy with his
quick demise.
Bert was born in this city where
his parents lived for many years.
He was graduated from the Normal
school here in 1888 and afterwards
taught school with success until he
was appointed to the mail service a
few years ago. He leaves a wife, to
whom he was married about five
years ago, and one child. His
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry G. Wood, and one sister sur
vive, living in Ellsworth. The re-
mains we're taken to Ellsworth,
where the funeral was held yester-
day, the burial service being per-
formed by the Masons.
