DEATH OF WALTER A. MAIN

Our town has again been visited by
the death angel and taken this time
Walter A. Main, young man OF 20
years, the only son and child of An
drew and Mary Main. Death was due
to that dreaded disease, pneumonia,
and he was sick less than week. His
funeral was held at his home on that
beautiful Easter Sunday at 1.3O, Rev
Mr. Job of Kent officiating. Mrs Mar
vim and G. L. Slade sang two appropri.
ate pieces, "Come Unto Me-" and
"Some Sweet Day By and By" In
terment in Kent. There were many
beautiful flowers. Mr. and Mrs Main
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community in this their sad
affection.
No new minister as yet; therefore
no Easter service and that new Easter
hat was not noticed. Frank J. Slade
spent Sunday in Sharon. Perhaps he
got a glimpse Of one; just tell us,
Frank, how they are trimmed, this
wear.
