Our community was shocked and
grieved last week to hear of the
sudden death of Miss Josephine
Spurry on Thursday night after sew
eral days illness of flu. She had
been confined to the house for sew
eral weeks previous with a cold but
her condition did not appear serious
until Monday. Miss Spurry had lived
here for many years and was highly
esteemed for her many admirable
qualities. She was a dressmaker and
came into contact with many people
throughout the State. She was al
ways a welcome addition in the
household from the youngest to the
oldest member to whom she was af-
fectiOnately known as Miss Jo." She
was of gentle, quiet nature with a
sweet and unassuming disposition
that endeared her to all. She pos
sessed the gift of sympathy that kept
her in touch with her friends. She
could feel their sorrows and rejoice
with their happiness. They will miss
her kindly presence as well as her
family circle where she was held
very dear. In spite of the inclement
weather and a driving snow storm,
friends came from distant parts of
the State to attend the funeral SER
vices last Sunday afternoon.
Miss Spurry was a member of
Trinity NJ f. Church for many
years. Rev n. C.. Benson conducted
the services and Trinity NJ. f. choir
sang several beautiful selections. |
Many lovely floral emblems attested |
the loving sympathy of relatives and |
friends.
Interment was made in Barratt's |
cemetery. Miss Spurry was 81 years |
of age. She is survived by her bro
ther. James Spurry and two sisters. |
Mrs. Mary Kelley, of Frederick and |
Mrs. Edgar Harrington of Clayton.
