months and 4 days.
The deceased had spent the winter III
Florida In company with her parents.
Towards the latter part Of the trip she
didnot appearEt to seem to be well. bu,
nothing serious was feared ard the trou.
BILE, though IL first obscure, was sup.
posed BY her friends to be only . tenn
porary cold. During the trip homeward
she became worse and at Minneapolis
she was taken to The home Of her aunt,
Mrs. William Hunter, where. after si1
weeks suffering, during which the i'll
ness developed into typhoid. she entered
into her rest.
The remains, accompanied by the par.
ents and Mrs. Hunter. arrived ia Pembi'
ma on Saturday and the funeral occurred
on Sunday at 1:30 p. m. in the Presby.
terrain church. Rev. w. ]. Hall Of Hall.
ock, a former pastor, conducted the ser.
vices. A ladies' quartette, consisting Of
Mesdames c. B. Harris and Aug. Shor,
and Misses Harvey and Wardwell, rend-
cred sweet and appropriate music. The
local lodge Of the Eastern Star, Of which
the deceased was member, closed the
ceremonies at the church with their beau
titui rituaiistc service. The floral trib.
utes OF sympathy were not only remark
able for their beauty and lavish abund.
ance. but were also very significant OF
the sorrow of many friends at far dis.
tant points. 1t was doubtless the most
beautiful and expensive array Of flowers
that has ever been put together at one
occasion in this comfy.
Among the cards accompanying the
floral tributes from friends at a distance
were the following: Hon. Alex. Nc
Kenzie, State Auditor H. L. Holmes and
wife, Clerk of Supreme Court R. D. Hos.
klns and vile. Supt. w. L. Stockwell and
Hon. c. B. Little, Bismarck; Friends
from Grafton; WI. Burke, Bathgate;
DR.. ]. D. Anderson, Miss McGregor, OF
Minneapolis; Mrs. Kibbe, Merchants
Hotel, ]. G. Miller, St. Paul; Hon. L. B.
Hanna, wife and daughter, Mrs. Baker,
Fargo; Geo. Palmer and wife, Melville,
N. D.; President w. Merri6e!d and wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. Trepanier, "B. p. o. E.
No. 2o5," Hon. E. G. Cooper, Grand
Forks. The floral tributes from the To-.
cal societies, friends and relatives were
also very many in number and beautiful
in arrangement. Messrs. A. Garrett, A.
d. Cavileer, S. L. Wardwell, Robert
Morrison. w. w. Felson and Harry Horr
acted as pall-beare1s.
The attendance at the services was
much larger than the capacity of the
church, though the seating had been
supplemented as far as possible with
chairs. Owing to the bad roads many
were prevented from driving across from
the neighboring towns. The train, how.
ever, brought large number of friends,
many from places, at distance. Among
those those we noticed Secretary Porter, Snpt.
stockweii, Auditor Holmes and wife,
Clerk of Supreme Court R. D. Hoskins
and wife, Deputy Auditor Ken Wylie Of
the staff of state officials, E. c. Cooper,
U. S. Marshal Ryan, Major ]. G. Hamil-
ton, and Postmaster VIM. Bulge, Grand
Forks; Senator Cashel, Jas. Mcdonald,

Grafton; James McCabe, Glasston; JOS.
Lee and wife, T. O'Brien, Neche, Sidney
Wardwell of Brainerd.
The day was pleasant except for a
shower while the services were going on
in the church. The church was draped
in shades of mourning. The remains
were inferred in the city cemetery.
The deceased was young lady OF a
quiet and retiring disposition. She was
born IN this city and was universally
loved and respected. The attachment
1
between her and her mother was more
than ordinary. They were lnseparable
companions. TIE mother has met q
double loss in the death of her daughter,
who was also sister. The sympathy Of
very large circle of friends is warmly
extended to all of the bereaved relatives,
but all realize the sadness that must re-
main with the bereaved mother in par.
ticular, which human sympathy, though
so willing, is yet SO powerless to assuage.
Somewhere, sometime, in the future, the
sadness, of the parting, fine vacancy in the
household, will be forgotten in the Joy 81
the reunion, though the waiting in the
shadow of the sorrow will be lonesome
and sad for those that remain. But she is
at rest ssfor He giveth His, beloved,

During her long and weary illness Al
Minneapolis her earnest desire, often ex.
pressed. was that she might 60 home
