Mrs. Alice Adelia Gray.

Mrs. M. F. Gray died at her home on
Stearns street Tuesday, Nov. 9, at II p.
m. She had been i'll from bronchial pneu-
monia for ten days. The funeral was
held at the home on Friday afternoon at
i o'clock, her pastor, the Rev. George R.
Akers officiating. The many beautiful
floral tributes spoke eloquently of the re-
gard and affection iu which she was held
and of the deep sympathy felt for the be-
reaved husband and other relatives. The
bearers were Reuben Cheney, Frank
Greaves, William Clark and Archie Udall.
Interment was in Larnoille View Cemetery
Alice Adelia, daughter of John and Lu-
cretia Greaves, was born in Albany, April
8. 1862. She was married to Willard F.
Gray in 1882 and came to Johnson to live
in 1884. With the exception of two years
spent in SomervilIe, Mass, their home has
been here. To this union was born
daughter, Sadie, who died at the age of
Is months.
Mrs Gray was intensely home-loving,
quiet and unassuming, but woman of
much strength of character, and one who
was always ready and glad to lend a help
ing hand to those in need. For some %
years, her health had been poor and during
the last five years, she had been increas-
ingly feeble. She bore the limitation of
those years bravely and without complaint,
She will be greatly missed by her husband,
her family and her many friends. Besides
her husband, she leaves to mourn her loss
three sisters, Mrs. R. w. Cheney of Morris
town, Mrs. W. H. Clark of Hardwick,
and Miss Florence Greaves of Lancaster,
Mass, and one brother, Frank Greaves of
Walden.
She was faithful member of the Meth
odist Church, to which she had belonged
from young womanhood. As long as her
strength permitted, she took an active part
in the work of the church, but when de-
prived of this privilege, her interest con-
tinued and she found many opportunities
in manifesting it. She was available men,
Der, who will be greatly missed in many
ways.
Those present from out of town to at
tend the funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. r.
W Cheney, John Cheney and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clifton Greaves of Morrisville, A. M.
Udall of Des Moines, Iowa, Mr.. and Mrs.
w, H. Clark of Hardwick, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Greaves of Lancaster, Mass H. E.

Birds and Tr10s.

Curlously enough, many birds, in
stead If fearing traps. develop. fond
mess tor them, probably GacaD y they
find them source of ample feed
which can be secured without danger
TO themselves. While this trait occa-
sionally is something of a nuisance
to the tripper, it often is of great as
sistance. It is believed that birds,
having learned to recognize traps, will
be apt to go to them for feed in the
course of their migrations, and so,
when caught, will furnish material for
ornithologists' reports.
