gan, a highly esteemed ana long
time resident of this place, died at
her home at the Eddy Wednesday
| night from a paralytic stroke with
which she was stricken about week
ago. She was Is years old, had
reared a large and interesting fam

milliner, and Miss Nellie, the oblig-
ing and efficient clerk in the local
postoffice for many years, are her

cey, are the survivors in the lonely
home. Another daughter, Mrs.

The death of Mrs. Rocker, wife
of Carl Rocker, who conducts a
bakery on Church street, was
| shock to the community on Saturday
afternoon. The deceased underwent
a very serious operation a fortnight
ago and her life was despaired of for
! several days and the end came after
fthe news had went about that she
was improving. Mrs. Rocker was a
devoted wife and mother and by her
sweet disposition and courteous
| treatment of the patrons of their
confectionery and bakery store won
the friendship of all with whom she
came in contact. Her immediate
i survivors are husband and four
young children. Her eldest child,
daughter, preceded her to the grave
only few months ago. We extend
sympathy to these bereaved ones.
