Mrs. Ella Hertzel

Our town was deeply saddened on Tuesday, March 30th, when report came of the death of Mrs. Ella Nj. -- Porter Hertzel, following 8 serious illness of some time past. In the death of Mrs. Hertzel Shar- on not only loses one of its most es- teemed and respected citizens, but friend and benefactress, whose many charitable deeds and kindly acts, were they recorded and made known, would fill many a column, for it was always Mrs. HertzePs way and desire that her deeds of help and kindness be given as little publicity as possible. She gave freely of her time and her money in a thousand ways and was especially active and helpful during past World War, do- | ing Red Cross and Relief work, then too many are the hours she has given delight to the hearts of the children in town, by reading stories to them Saturday afternoon in the children's room at the Library, doing this as long as her health permitted.
