MRS. CHARLES M. DINGER
DIED THURSDAY MORNING.
Had been III Many Months-The Funeral
was held Sunday Afternoon at Emer-
vile and was Very Large.

Mrs. Sallie Dinger, wife of Charles
M. Dinger, a member of the Reynolds
vile Hardware Co. of this place, died
at the home of her father, E. Weiser,
at Emerickville at 1.30 a, m. Thursday,
August "a, 1905, after long illness
from cancer. Mrs. Dinger had been in
New York City and Philadelphia a
couple of times consulting and receiving
treatment from eminent physicians, but
they were powerless to stay the dread
disease. Not until the Sunday before
she died did Mrs. Dinger give up hope
of being restored to health, and when
she did give up her lamp of life soon
went out. Her suffering was not in
tense until the last two days. She
talked to her husband about dying and
said she was ready to depart this life.
The last words she uttered ten minutes
before she died were ''It Is after mid
night; we will go to sleep and sleep
good" She did go to sleep never to
awaken to earthly scenes again.
Sallie Dipger was born at limerick
vile October %, 1868, and would have
been 81 years old next October. She
clerked in her fathers store at limerick
vile for some time and was well known
and we'll liked in that neighborhood.
September 80, 1891, Charles NJ
Duger and Sallie Weiser we're united
in marriage at Emerickville. Three
children, two sons and one daughter,
we're born unto them, two OF whom pre-
ceded the mother to the Eternal Shores.
Deceased is survived by her husband
and two year old son, Charles, her faith
er and two sisters, Mrs. Lavina Baum,
of Reynoldsville, and Mrs. o. F. Haines,
of Emerickville. Husband, father and
two sisters we're at the bedside when
Mrs. Dinger died.
Mrs. Dinger was member of the
Lutheran church at Emerickville a
number of years, but after Mr.. and Mrs
Dinger moved to Reynoldsville five
years ago, they both joined the Pres
byterian church in this place. On ac-
count of poor health Mrs. Dinger was
not able to attend church very often
the past two or three years.
Funeral services were held in the
Lutheran church at Emerickville at
200 p. m. Sunday, conducted by Rev.
A. D. Mckay, pastor Of the Reynolds
vile Presbyterian church, assisted by
Rev. j. w. Myers, of Reynoldsville,
pastor of Lutheran church. 1t was
one of the largest funerals probably
ever held at Emerickville, the church
being crowded and fully enough on the
out side to refill it twice more. This
was largely due to the large acquaint-
ance Mrs. Dinger had and the fact that
she clerked in her fathers store from a
little girl until few years ago, and the
kind way and word she had for every
body. The Sons Of Veterans, of Reyn-
oldsville, Of which Mr.. Dinger is a
member, attended the funeral in body.
Interment was made in the limerick
vile cemetery.
