DEATH OF MRS. p. +. wYMAN.
Departure Of Good Woman, Active In
Good Works.

There passed away on Friday morning,
December 20, 1907, at seven o'clock, as the
home of her daughter, Miss ii. Maud
Wyman, in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
woman whose bright intellect, polished
manners and sweet christian character,
made her lasting friends among all with
whom she came in contact. Mrs. Prudence
Taylor-Wyman was born in Meadville, Pa,
in the month of October 1888, and was
aged "A years and two months at the time
of death. Soon after reaching womanhood
she became the wife of John d. Wyman,
also resident of her native city, and as a
dutiful wife and loving mother, her de-
parture leaves vacancy in the family cir
Gle that can never be filled. Mr.. Wyman
died % years ago, leaving to her tender care
the rearing of family of three children.
How we'll and faithful she performed the
trust thus placed upon her, we leave 1t to
those who knew her best to judge. Some
twelve years ago she came to Tiones
making her home with her son, William
G.. Wyman, she soon took her place in the
front rank for all that was commendable
in the elevation of mankind, being an
ndefatigable worker in the cause of Christ
and the uplifting of the human race to
higher sphere of usefulness She was
power in the church and always took AT
active part in the cause of Home ano
Foreign Missions, but perhaps her greatest
| interest and most Jealous labors were CEN
tered in the cause of temperance, being
president of the W. c. 7. U. in Crawford
county before coming here, aud could
always be found laboring in the from
ranks for "God, Home and her Native
Land" 1t is beyond the ken of any writer
no matter how gifted, in brief newspaper
article, to do justice to one who has devot-
ed her entire life to the betterment of all
mankind. The world is better for hel
having lived in it, and she leaves to hel
ancestry an Inheritance that will live il
the ages to come. At her new home in the
Southland, Mrs. Wyman was also identified
actively with the religious and phianthropi'
life of the city. She was member of tht
First Methodist Episcopal church and an
earnest worker in the Woman's Christian
| Temperance union. She was valued
member of the board of managers of the
Frances Willard home for working girls
and her never failing tact and gracious
ness, as we'll as her executive ability, soon
won for her the esteem and confidence o.
all. She had been in rather poor healtl
for the past year, but only for the past sil
weeks had her condition been of an alarm
ing nature, her death finally resulting
from a complication of diseases. She i
survived by one sou, William G. Wyman
of Tionesta, Pa. and two daughters, Mrs
George n. Burt, of Oswego, N. Y, an'
Miss H. Maud Wyman, of Chattanooga
all of whom were present at her bedsid
when her spirit took its fight. She is ais
survived by one brother, Mr.. John Taylor
a prominent business man of Erie, Pa
