The funeral of Mrs. E. L. Noyes was
held from her late home on Sat urday
afternoon last and was largely attended.
Erwin Lilley was in charge, assisted by
Noyes Wood. Rev. w. T. Forsythe was
the officiating clergyman and spoke very
feelingly of "The Everlasting Life''
He also alluded in few words to the
many good traits of the deceased and
said that she was ever ready to aid in
any good work in the community, put
ting aside UNCONVENTIONAL preferences to
assist in that which would be of benefit
to those among whom she lived. He
closed with the rendition, in very i'm
pressive manner, of "She is Sleeping"
The bearers were, A. B. Noyes, Fl. A..
Noyes, l.. Ell. Noyes, DR.. Stevens, W. w.
Thorp and HI. M. Mcfarland. There
was profusion of flowers, among them
being tributes from the Home Culture
Club, the Rebekahs, the Odd Fellows
and the Episcopal Mission of Morrisville
The burial was in the family plot in
the village cemetery.

ter of VIM. and Freelove Blanchard.

coincidence her death occurred on her

now living. They are Mrs. Grace
Stevens, Mrs. VIM. Thorp, and Albert L.
Noyes. Besides her aged mother, who

Blanchard of Worcester, Mass.
With the exception of year or two
spent at the home of Mr.. Noyes' parents
they have always lived at the home where

affairs of the place, being an active
member of the Home Culture Club, the
Rebekahs and the Ladies' Aid Society.

pal church, which she loved dearly and
whose interests were uppermost in her

all and her assistance to the sick and
poor will be lovingly remembered by

woman has gone to her rest and she will
be missed by great number. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy of al
in this their great affection.

the funeral were Edgar Blanchard and
Mrs. Neil Jackson and daughter, Flor
ence, of Worcester, Mass; Mrs. Judith
Angler of Potion, p. O., and Mr.. and

The expense of running and operating

This tract viii be subdivided at once
into forty and eighty-acre tracts in
order to meet the heavy demand for

W. B. Cone transferred to S. T. Nance

$4,000.
H. Hooper bought 100 acres of land

S. G. Duncan sold to H. Boynton two
sections of unimproved land twenty

accounts for the low price.

and takes a five-room modern cottage
on Gentry street, in Huntington Park,

was exchanged at value of $500.
w. S. Durston sold to F. A. Olsen

Mr. johnson reports continued and
blisk demand for all classes of good
country property and the demand is
growing considerably stronger all the
time. The greatest demand at this
time seems to center in Tulare and
adjoining counties, and as yet the
prices remain very low compared with
the high productiveness of the soil
when properly titled. The greatest
demand at the present time is for
small farms of 40, so and 100 acres.
