Mary M. Whitney Passes A NAV

Mary M. Whitney Passes Away
Mary Magdelene, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Elmer E. Whitney of this
village, was called to the realms
above at 3 o'clock on Saturday AFTER
noon, June II. following an illness of
about two months duration. The
cause of death was spinal meningitis
superind Induced by tuberculosis and,
Notwithstanding every effort was made
to effect a cure, the disease baffled the
endeavors of the best medical skill.
On Friday evening DR.. Walsh of St.
Paul, one of the renowned medical
specialists of the northwest, was called
to see the patient, and he found that
DR.. Galley, the local physician in
charge OF the case, had pursued the
only known course by which it was
possible to save the patients life. A
very small percentage of persons
suffering from this disease, says DR..
Walsh, survive.
On Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
funeral services were conducted at the
family residence by Rev. I. N.
Goodell of the Methodist church and
three very pretty selections we're
sung by quartet consisting of Mrs.
c. A. Galley, Mrs. Briggs, Guy Ewing
and Claude Briggs. Many beautiful
floral offerings-among them wreaths
from the K. o. T. M. and the boys at
the power plant-were received-the
casket Was literally embedded in fair
blossoms. The procession which fol-
lowed the remains of this beloved
young lady to their last resting place
in Oak Knoll cemetery was a long
one, signifying the high esteem in
which she and her parents are held in
the community. The active pail
bearers we're Johnnie Schmidt, Still
man Cakes, Oliver Ross, David Um-
behocker, Henry Milbraith and
Ernest Nelson-all classmates of
Mary in the high school. There were
also six honorary pallbearers,
members of the Wide-Awake club, to
which organization she belonged.
They we're Misses Grace Moody,
Carroll Howard, Sadie Penhallegon,
Pearl Moore, Allie Saxon and
Blanche Lanery.
Mary M. Whitney was born in
Princeton on April IA, 1896, and at
tended the high school of this village
until compelled to give up her studies
in consequence of sickness. She is
survived by her father and mother,
three brothers and three sisters
F. r. Burrell, Onamia; Charles,
Jennie, Ralph, Bonnie and Madge.
Mary Whitney was a girl of very
studious inclination who always stood
high in her class. She was of a
good-natured disposition who en-
deared herself to all her classmates
and others with whom she was &C.
quainted. During her illness she at
times suffered intensely, but her hope
tul young heart never permitted her
to complain-she bore her affection
with courage. That she was removed
from those who loved her, and whom
she loved, in the bloom of her youth
is to be much regretted-the blow is
a hard one for her parents, brothers
and sisters to bear. But God in His
wisdom knoweth that which is best,
and the bereaved family should find
consolation in the knowledge that her
suffering is o'er-that she is now in a
realm where trouble abideth not.
The relatives from out of town who
attended the funeral were Mr.. and
Mrs. F. r. Burrell of Onamia and
Mrs. O. j. McCarriel of Minneapolis.
