MRS EDISON TURNEY.

MRS EDISON TURNKEY.
 Mrs Edson Turney, one of our very oldest women of this town, died on Sat urday and was laid to rest on Tuesday, the funeral being held at the home. She was 80 years old and had lived in this village during her married life, coming from Easton, her native place. She was of quiet and loving disposit- ion, her greatest care being to make a pleasant home for those whom she loved. Her generation had almost en- tirely preceded her into the great un- known, for only few, very few, are left who knew her as the bride or young mother of her only child, now left to endure the loneliness of doubly stricken home, father and mother gone and no sister or brother to whom to go for sympathy or comfort.l Rev MT McDermott of Nichols, former pastor of the Methodist church, of which the deceased had been for many years member, attended the funeral.
 Rev A. L. Hubbard, the new pastor of the Methodist church. began his work there, last Sunday. He comes from Canons where he has spent the past three years. Mir Hubbard was the guest of Daniel Edwards, who had met him at the Conference in Brook lyn. The ladies are working heartily to get the parsonage, which unfortun- ately has been closed for the year past, once again into homelike condition. Mir Hubbard brings with him wife and two children, a daughter and son.
