MRS. SARAH GARLAND.

home of her son-in-law and daugh
ter Stillwell and Ettie Truax on

year of her age. The funeral
services conducted by Ed. ].
Calvin Garland, took place on
the following Thursday, and in
terment was made in the ceme-
terry at the Sideling Hill Baptist
church.
Her death was entirely unex-
pected. She went to bed a little
earlier than usually, and soon
thereafter some of her women
friends called and Mrs. Truax
told them to just step into her
room as she was just resting in
bed in an adjoining room. AS
her bed was approached she
threw up her hands, and passed
away apparently without a strug-
gle.
The deceased was daughter
of the late Isaac Mellott, who

farm. She was married to Ben

a few years ago, and the follow
ing children survive, namely, Liz
zie, wife of David Garland, Need

Hill, near Sharpe; Ettie, wife of
Stillwell Truax, at whose home
Mrs. Garland died; and John Gar
land and Charlie Garland, both
living in Belfast township. She
is survived by one tep-daughter
Emma, wife of Mason Mellott.
Mrs. Garland was consistent
member of the Christian church
for many years, and her first
thought in life was to be useful
to those about her, and she was
never more contented than when
able to do something to add to
the comfort of those with whom
she mingled.
