Obituary..

Death has claimed another of the pio
beers. and Mrs. Edmund Smith was
sailed to her reward last Thurtday after
noon at o'clock. The community which
has known so long and favorably her
and her late husband will miss her kind
ly presence and influence.
,Jennett Catherine Fowler was born in
West Bloomfield, Ontario county, n. Y,
September %, 1917. Her parents were
natives of Guilford, Conn. In 1S4O she
was united in marriage to Edmund
Smith of East Lynne, Conn. Two years
later they came to this region, where
they resided until the time of their
deaths, and with others brought culture
comfort and order out of the wilderness
of the forest. Mrs. Smith was always a
kind and friendly neighbor, and as q
tireless worker has exhibited that heroic
character that has made this country
great. Childlike and gentle, constantly
doing kindly deeds, she was greatly be
loved by all who knew her. Always in
terested in church and church affairs
the PRESBYTERIAN church of Paw Paw
has had many practical expressions Of
her interest. A very faithful attendant
at all services, even feeble years did moi
prevent her Drawing all sorts of weather
TO be In her place. The funeral service
attended by large number of friends
was held at her late residence last Sun
day afternoon and was conducted by bel
pastor. Rev Chas. f.. Huffer, assisted by
Rev. III. w. Harvey.

of an alteration between Furbush and

vious to his death, and some other cir
connected with the case,

should be held. In each case the coro.

FROM FREDERICA.

Childrens' Day exercises wer,
held in the NJ. Z. Church last Sun
day evening. The church wa.
crowded with an interested audi
ence. Beautiful flowers were
grouped around the altar and organ
and the little folks formed a pretty
1 picture as they sang their songs
and recited their recitations. The
singing was very good and the en-
tertainment altogether reflected
credit on those who had charge OF
the affair. Services of a similar
kind were also held at Millwood in
the afternoon and were very good.
The collection at the latter place
was in excess of last years, and an
excellent one.
