DEATH RECORD OF THE PAST WEEK
Miss Lucy Taylor Second Daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George ". Taylor Dies After Lin
gering Illness Other Deaths Recorded.

of Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Taylor,
passed quietly from the life that now
is to that which is to come, last
Thursday evening at her fathers home
after an illness that had kept her
confined to her room for about six
weeks past. Being a Smyrnian by
birth and by almost lifelong residence
she was widely known in the commun- !
ity; but it was only given to the
small circle of her intimate friends to |
penetrate a modest and unassuming
exterior and appreciate her steadfast |
and sterling qualities at their true
worth. Uniting with the Presbyter-
ian Church at an early age, being a
member of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety since it's organization in that
church and for some years past the
secretary of its Sunday school, she
lived very consistent, practical and
useful Christian life. In the weeks
of her illness she was frequently sur
prised and greatly touched by the un-
expected kindnesses of friends. And
when about to depart she left with her
family the most comforting assurances
of her immediate entrance into a
blessed Immortality. The funeral
services were held on Monday after
noon at her late home, conducted by
the Rev. Arthur Richards whose re-
marks were characterized by deep
and tender feeling and carried the
consultations of the Holy Scriptures to
the hearts of the bereaved family.
| The interment followed at the St. Pc
ter's Episcopal cemetery attended by
all the immediate family except two
brothers who are in London.
