Unknown Insurance Policy
Proues Codsend to Widow
Woman, Once One of Famous
Sutherland Sisters, Thanks
The shines.

A part of her problem was solved
this week when there was handed to
Mrs. Amy Guenther at Niles, a check
for $1,000. a payment by The News
Times on an accident policy issued
TO her husband when he subscribed
for this newspaper a few months ago.
Life has not been Uneventful for
this woman, now left alone with a
little grandson. not old enough to
become the breadwinner for the fam
lily. but in no other moment of life
did there come with greater force
the knowledge that there is a pro-
tecting care and a kindly spirit in
the world.
In her early life Mrs. Guenther
was known as one of the famous
Sutherland Sisters. whose long and
luxuriant hair was the marvel of
that day and age, and to see whom
the people or every city came in
throngs. For five years this great
natural beauty, falling in great curl
ing waves was the admiration of men
and the envy of women. Then came
love and she left the public view for
the serious business of home maker.
Husband Killed.
There came the usual sorrows and
struggles, the moments of high hap
piness and the days with their vexa-
tons and problems. the birth of
children and the happiness of the
first grandchild, now her only con-
ISOLATION.
Three weeks ago her husband,
George Guenther, was killed while
driving their horse and buggy near
their home at Niles. She had said
good bye but a short time before,
busted herself about her little home
and then came the dark hour when
neighbors came to break the 50 d
news that there had been an acct
dent. a runaway and that her hus-
band had been almost instantly
killed.
The world grew TO be a very lone
some place without the companion
of years. But il also became an in

livelihood as soon as the first shock
Of sorrow had passed.
