Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1919-03-07

The community was shocked this
week to learn of the death Of Mrs.
Blanche Furey, wife of DR.. Charles A.
Furey, which occurred in a PhiladeI-
phia hospital from pneumonia and four
days after she gave birth to her second
child. The funeral was held yesterday
from the home of her parents in Phila-
delphla. Mrs. Furey's maiden name
was Costello, and she and her husband
both practiced osteopathy, having a
year round office in Wild wood and the
city and in Cape May during the sum-
mer. About three years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Furey bought what was known
as the Spratt cottage on Wildwood I'VE
nue., made numerous repairs and fixed
it up as their permanent home. She
was about twenty-five years OF age,
had an attractive personality and was
held in high esteem by all who knew
her. She and her husband spent a very
busy life with three offices, having built
up quite a large practice. A little boy,
about three or four years of age, loses a
good mother.

The birthday party held in the First

and financially. All the people who
attended (about seventy said they had
a grand time. DR.. Edwards made
twenty-five quarts of ice cream. This
was all given awaytothose who attend
ed. Next Sunday will be the last Sab
oath before DR.. Edwards goes to Con-
ference. He says he will take up the
best report to conference in the history
of the church. All current expenses
will be met-pastors will be paid in
full. The aged ministers will receive

that has existed in the church during
the year. Everyone has done his and
her part. The aid society has done a
grand work. The Epworth league is
in a flourishing condition, with Joseph
James, president and l.. P. Coney,
