Death Of Mrs. Shrider.

Mrs. Margaret M. Shrider died at
her home on Sophia street Friday
morning after an illness of two
months On Sept 9th while on a visit
among relatives in Kosciusko county
she-was taken seriously sick with per
itonitis and though for time her
life was despaired of, she so far re-
covered as TO be brought to her home
Oct. 18Th since which time she seem
ed to be improving slowly and Thurs
day evening was brought to the table
for supper with her family. She was
in the same state of health Friday
morning and her husband was near
Valparaiso experimenting the work
of his gang of men when she after
eating some breakfast complained to
Mrs. Biddle, her faithful friend and
attendant, of feeling so much worse
and died in a few minutes.
Mrs. Shrider's maiden name was
Van Keuren and she was born and
grew to young womanhood in Kos
ciusko county. She was for time a
resident of Fl. Wayne where she
united with the Baptist church re-
naming a consistent member until
death called her to await her reward
She was united in marriage with Ira
Shrider May &c, 1903, who with their
sweet little daughter Evelyn, is left
mourning over her untimely taking
off Her sudden demise was severe
shock to her many friends, but the
fact remains that He who guides the
destinies of all and notes even the
sparrows fall has left us the comfor.
ing knowledge that, "As in Adam all
die, so in Christ shall all be made
alive" SO our sorrow is not without
hope. The remains will be taken ~
Kosciusko county for burial. Funeral
notice will be given later.

Church Noted in History.

On the day Mrs. Jefferson Davis
died the announcement appeared in
the Washington papers that the
Church of the Epiphany would be
placed on the market and sold if an
other and suitable site could be found
upon less valuable ground within the
confines of the parish. The coinci-
dence called up many recollections OF
the dim and faded past in the minds
OF people who have lived there since
the Gays when this church was some
times referred to as the rebel
church of Washington, the most
striking of which had reference to
Jefferson Davis himself.
The church of the Epiphany, which
stands upon wide and deep lot on
G street near Fourteenth street, in
what is fast becoming the heart of the
business center of Washington, was
the church regularly attended by Mr..
Davis during all the years he served
in Congress. He retained his pew
there until the very last, but on the
night of the day he was elected Pres
ident of the. Southern Confederacy
somebody, whose identity has never
been disclosed, broke into the edifice
and tore his silver name plate from
the pew and carried it away. Whether
the deed was perpetrated by friend
or an enemy has likewise remained a
secret.
