Mrs. Rose Bolyard Fisher was the
second child and eldest daughter OF
Jacob M. and Sarah Cw,ison) Bolyard
and was born January IL. 1886, and
died May 8, 1915. being therefore 20
years, months and is days old ut her
demise. She was born and lived her
entire life in this county. On Febru-
airy is, 1914, she was united I'm mar
rage to Thomas Fisher, OF Tunnel
ton. The ceremony having been per-
formed at the home OF the deceased's
sister Mrs. William Bolyard at Graf
ton. On April 2S. 1915, this union was
blessed by the birth of daughter who
lived just five days. dying Sunday, May
z, 1915. In this sad experience we can
but quote the lines OF Shakespeare
which so aptly express the universal
sentiment:
Death lies on her like an untimely
frost
upon the sweetest flower of all the
field"
The mothers condition became
alarming on Friday and all that was
known or could be done by medical
science was called into use. Drs. Ran
Kin and Walker OF function were I'm
constant attendance and their efforts
were supplemented by DR.. Emmett
Bucklew of Grafton, and on Sunday
evening DR.. Emil Novack OF Balti-
more. one OF the most renowned spec
ialists In this country, came to the
bedside OF Mrs. Fisher. At first she
rallied and there was held out hope of
her ultimate recovery. On Tuesday
evening she seemed much better and
asked for nourishment, but at 5.45 a.
IN. Wednesday the spirit OF life depart
ed and the mortal remains were freed
from suffering and struggle. All that
medical science, expert nursing and
the tender solicitude OF friends and re-
latives could do had been done TO
save that precious life, but the All
Wise One who knoweth better than
mite creature, rendered an arbitrary
decision from which there can be no
appeal.
The deceased was q universal favor
lie with those who came to know her.
In Tunnelton where she had spent
many years OF her life she was well
known to every man, woman and
child. And when ii became known
that she was dangerously i'll the con-
slant question of how she was and II
there was chance OF recovery was
on every lip. The many big and grave
topics that are agitating the minds of
every citizen passed out OF mind and
the all absorbing question was Twill
she live?" And finally when the news
OF her death came it cast a pail over
the community such as does not come
In generation. AS a mark of the
esteem in which she was held the
mothers Of Tunnelton sent a huge
floral pillow OF lilies of the valley
and the fathers and husbands an i'm
mense anchor of flowers. The floral
tributes were the most profuse ever
seen here on any similar occasion.
She was buried at the Campground
on Monday with the funeral services at
the Tunnelton NJ. E. church. The
funeral was delayed on account of two
brothers, Guy and Greenland Bolyard,
who live in Tustin, Cal. They arrived
on No. II Sunday evening. She is sur
viyed by her parents and four broth
ers and three sisters. She is the first
OF the family to be summoned to the
great unknown. The husband also
survives and to him, especially, is the
sympathy of the community extended
To be deprived OF a loving and faith
full wife and the precious little daugh-
ter in one fell blow is drinking the
dregs to the bottom.
