Day Party.

Mrs r.. A. schnell died at her
home in Greenwich, Conn.,, on last
Tuesday and the body was brought
here Friday for interment. She had
been in i'll health for several months,
and every means was used for her
restoration, her husband being a
physician of note. The news OF her

large hospital in New York, also oc-
cupying other very responsible posi-
tions in this line. It was while thus
occupied that she met DR.. Schnell.
She was woman of strong charac-
ter and very intellectual, and was an
interesting conversationalist. Her
love for her old home and friends
was marked and her home coming
was always hailed with delight by
those who knew her best. After the
death of her parents she retained the
home, and it was here her body was
brought and reposed through the day
and night to await the burial. SYM
pathizing friends, coming with How-
ers literally covered the casket, and
all around it were these silent tok-
ems of love. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. David d.
Kellar pastor of the Methodist
church, and the two hymns sung
were "Asleep in Jesus" and "Some-
time Well Understand" The pail
bearers were Messrs. j. C. Lewis, o.
