A dele gatiOn came from South Wilmington Dea, and Mrs Braokett, Mrs. Holman, MT. and Mrs. Edwards and guests and Cornell Green and entire family and others. The Amidon's and Ruby s from the lake and by most of the friends in the vicinity. The singing of appropriate hymns and the duette by Rev. and Mrs. Darrow was very sweet and the scripture and remarks by MT. Darrow most comforting as a tribute of love to the late mistress of Hillside. who had requested that her former pastor, Rev. MT. Darrow, with Rev. Charles A. Parker, the present pastor, should officiate at her funeral. It was matter of regret that at this service MT. Parker was suffering with acute indigestion and could not be present.
