there for fifteen years and then came
to Wausau to reside.
The family were all az home on
New Years day and barely departed
for their homes when the sad ending
came.
She was deyout Christian woman
and church member, was member
of ST. AIMS Altar society and also
member of the Fraternal Reserve
association.

band and six children, two sons and
four daughters Joseph of Milwau-
kee; Edward of Chicago; Mrs. Matt.

at o'clock a. M, Saturday, Jan. 2,
1915, after lingering illness of three

upon her so heavily that it seriously
impaired her health, and in Novem-

sinking spell and she had been SIM
ilary affected at intervals ever since,

sincere mourning.

RESIGNED.

At the services, Sunday morning, of
the Presbyterian society, Rev. James
M. Duer presented his resignation as
pastor, which position he has held for
the past six years. 1t was very much
of a surprise to many of his congrega-
ton, as well as to the public at large.
1t is to take effect as soon as possible,
and the congregation has called a
meeting for Thursday to consider
same. As action is also necessary to
be taken by the Winnebago Presbytery
it will require about month before
Rev. Duer and family can get away.
This climate does not agree with
members of his family and Rev. Duer
finds it necessary to go south to re-
side, and which is the reason for his
resignation. That he and his family
are to depart from Wausau is deeply
regretted by all.
